    I can not change to put the hostname instead of the IP
    Why not? The docs should be of some use: Change Hostname - cPanel Documentation

    I don't know why the IP is used instead of hostname for HELO request But spamassassin doesn't like this. -1.539 FSL_HELO_BARE_IP_2 IP used in the HELO request The hostname should be a domain name, not an IP My hostname is ici.domain.ovh -> 37.59.x.xxx Thank you for your assistance.

    Hello :) Have you setup RDNS for the IP address so that it points back to the hostname of the server? If not, please send a request to your data center to have them setup RDNS for your IP address. Thank you.

    Where do you see the error message you have referenced? Is it a bounce from a specific remote email server? Thank you.

    Hello, To update this thread, the issue was that this is most likely a false positive with mail-tester.com. Other checking services showed that the HELO was correct.
