Try using a HELO/EHLO name (i.e. helo_data) which doesn't resolve to a private
IP address (g2.atypon.com => 10.1.1.2). Ideally of course (RFC1123) your
public IP address will have a PTR record giving your hostname, and that
hostname will forward-resolve to your IP address, and your helo_data will be
that hostname.
