I did reply to your message, but unfortunately, your system appears to
be misconfigured:
exim@???
SMTP error from remote mail server after HELO pandora.arm.linux.org.uk:
host m2.u22.net [95.172.15.115]: 550-[2B21] Rejected. Invalid HELO/EHLO name. Suspected spam. Sender's host =
550-gw-1.arm.linux.org.uk; Sender's HELO = pandora.arm.linux.org.uk :
550 http://sys.u22.net/t01/t01p07.php
to which I say... you're really not worth replying to if you require helo
to match the hostname. If you want to do HELO name verification, then
implement CSA rather than cooking your own broken solution, resulting in
legitimate mail being blocked.
If not, I'll add you to my /dev/null list so I don't make the mistake of
replying to you in future.
Thanks.
