How to change the HELO/EHLO server side email-sync uses

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I try to setup server side email synchronization on a CRM 2015. But when testing the Mailboxes there are errors (both on in- and outgoing tests) but a least I found out what the problem on the outgoing SMTP is. I traces networktraffic and when sender email is posted to the mail server it responds this way:

5.7.1 <email-address>
Recipient address rejected: Mail appeared to be SPAM or forged.
Ask your Mail/DNS-Administrator to correct HELO and DNS MX settings or to get removed from DNSBLs;
MTA helo: computer-name, MTA hostname: unknown[ip-address] (helo/hostname mismatch)

Of course email-address, computer-name and ip-adress are placeholders for real values.

CRM sends the CRM instance name (which also is the computer name and not a value which could be resolved per DNS) as helo, what I think causes this problem. The helo/hostname mismatch should be solved when the IP would be send as helo, shouldn't it?

How can I make the CRM using anothers value as helo? Is there a way to configure this?

    Is your email server configuration in CRM 2015 setup to use the right Exchange Server settings?

    Internal or External Exchange Web Service URL?

    Actually there is no Exchange Server involved at all.

    POP3-SMTP-Profile in use & External mail server.

    What if you use another email client with the same settings you use for the CRM email server settings?

    Is that working in general?
