    BUG? mxtoolbox fails to provide fully qualified domain name - fails PostFix tests

    The mxtoolbox tools look GREAT!

    Unfortunately I had a problem adding my server to the free monitoring service.

    It appears the mxtoolbox script fails to identify itself at HELO with a fully-qualified domain name.  This is not conformant with RFC 2812, which requires a FQDN.

    Feb  5 17:38:46 atomic postfix/smtpd[7728]: connect from mxtb-pws1.mxtoolbox.com[64.20.227.131]
    Feb  5 17:38:46 atomic postfix/smtpd[7728]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mxtb-pws1.mxtoolbox.com[64.20.227
    .131]: 504 5.5.2 <mxtbpws1>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<no-reply@mxtool
    box.com> to=<braddock@braddock.com> proto=SMTP helo=<mxtbpws1>

    I have PostFix configured to reject such non-conformant mail (it REALLY helps with spammers, who can't seem to write a conformant spambot).

    I look forward to using the service soon!
