Hello,

<hbg-mail>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname (in reply to RCPT TO command)

/etc/hostname : hbg-mail.romans.lan
/etc/hosts : 127.0.0.1 localhost.romans.lan localhost

localhost.romans.lan, or hbg-mail.romans.lan are not fully qualified hostnames.

A fully qualified hostname is something like:
mail.somedomain.com
or zimbra.somecollege.edu
or something like that

You definitely need to have a real domain name (which exists in forward and reverse DNS) for your Zimbra server (or any mail server) to work.

Thank's !

I changed my /etc/hosts to :
192.168.21.110 hbg-mail.romans.lan mail.sarenne-motors.ch

And : zmlocalconfig -e postfix_smtp_helo_name = 'mail.sarenne-motors.ch'

Reboot server, but i always have : <hbg-mail>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname (in reply
to RCPT TO command)

Another things to modify ?

Thank you
