I have someone trying to use Netscape mail via PPP (winsock)
on my machine. They can receive mail fine (netscape uses POP3)
Sending however is a problem. There was an error back to
the effect that "HELO requires a domain address"
I telneted to my smtp port and interacted

[root@glink newx]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 glcom.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.7.5/8.7.3; Sun, 3 Nov 1996 19:23:33 -0500
helo
501 helo requires domain address
helo glcom.com
250 glcom.com Hello glink.glcom.com [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
---
It appears to me netscape mail sends "helo" instead of "helo glcom.com"
Is this a protocol violation?
With eudora, this problem disappears.
Any words of wisdom?
Help will be much appreciated.
cheers
jamal
