hostnames cannot have _'s in them.. _'s can be used but not for
hostnames of computers on the internet. (feel free to use them if you
are not connected to the internet)

I don't want to argue.. read the RFC's.. read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname


if you want to put a _ in your hostname or accept _'s in HELO's then its
up to you.. but aren't playing nice on the internet


have a nice day :-)

Thanks
