How do I configure the "/etc/mailhelo" file?

Question

When formatting the /etc/mailhelo file, what syntax format does this need to be in?

 

Answer

The /etc/mailhelo file contains Exim’s configuration for the HELO command, which initiates dialog between a mail server and a client. This file governs which domain sends the HELO command.

 

Use your preferred text editor to create an /etc/mailhelo file that resembles the following example:

  1. example.com: example.com
  2. sub.example.com: example.com
  3. example.net: example.net
  4. addon.example.net: example.net
  5. *: hostname.example.com
