Didn't mean to post this twice. The first time I sent it from the wrong
address so it got held for approval. I sent it from the correct address and
thought that the posting might be deleted as it was posted from an address
that wasn't subscribed. Sorry about this unnecessary mail traffic.

Subject: [Exim] Mail Reject Because Of Helo .xxxx
I am using exim release 3. I run a mailing list which hasn't had this
problem until now. My exim generates it helo as
helo .interfree.ca
The dot (.) in from of interfree.ca hasn't bothered anyone until now. How
do I eliminate this . so that my helo message will be
helo interfree.ca in order to satisfy the provider below, or should I be
worrying about this? Who is right, them, exim or do I have a configuration
problem?
