OKay seem to have it working - unfortunately lots of folks have mis 
configured MTAs. Some of these people wont fix this anytime soon - is 
there way of 'whitelisting'  some hosts/domains from the helo checks and 
client and recipient checks?

What do you normally do when a client or vendor gets rejected by these 
tests?

Thanks
