Problem releasing a message

[Isi Lawson]

    [ The following text is in the "windows-1252" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

here are all the gory details:

hostname:
[root at abaddon htdocs]# hostname
abaddon.purecomputing.net

/etc/hosts (related bits)
[root at abaddon htdocs]# more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
82.165.244.31   abaddon.purecomputing.net purecomputing.net abaddon
82.165.225.168  smtp01.purecomputing.net

detail.php - don't think i missed anything and i updated the 'host' from
'localhost' as suggested in another mail

   // Fix by Glenn Steen, to set an arbitrary smtp host
   $mail_param = array('host' => QUARANTINE_MAIL_HOST);
   $body = $mime->get();
   $hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);
   $mail =& Mail::factory("smtp",$mail_param);

conf.php - quarantine setings

// Quarantine settings
define(QUARANTINE_MAIL_HOST, "localhost.localdomain");
define(QUARANTINE_FROM_ADDR, 'postmaster');
define(QUARANTINE_SUBJECT, 'Message released from quarantine');
define(QUARANTINE_MSG_BODY, 'Please find the original message that was
quarantined attached to this mail. Regards,Postmaster');

I have changed the mail_host above to be a number of different things:
smtp01.purecomputing.net, localhost.localdomain,
abaddon.purecomputing.net, abaddon, localhost -> all with no luck.  What
i do see though in the maillog is that the connect from updates properly
- basically every where in snip below that has localhost.localdomain
changes to be whatever i set the above to be.  The one thing that does
not change are the two items that use only <localhost> in the second log
entry.

Interesting bit in the logs
Mar 10 23:06:13 abaddon postfix/smtpd[6676]: connect from
localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]

Mar 10 23:06:13 abaddon postfix/smtpd[6676]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: 504 <localhost>: Helo command
rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<postmaster at localhost>
to=<demo at purecomputing.net> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost>

Mar 10 23:06:13 abaddon postfix/smtpd[6676]: lost connection after RCPT
from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Mar 10 23:06:13 abaddon postfix/smtpd[6676]: disconnect from
localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]

I confirmed that i am not blocking the traffic via the host firewall as
well. (pretty obvious since a connection is getting started but checked
anyway) :>)

Any thing else that might aid in troubleshooting please let me know.
