hostname resets, spamhaus...

[netnameus]

I'm having problems with my IP being constanly added to the spamhaus database.

It's because my helo response is localhost.localdomain.

But my hostname is in fact a valid hostname (bounty.mydomain.com).

Everytime I reset my server, though, my hostname gets changed, so I have to set it everytime.

Any guidence on this would be great.

Thanks

You can set your hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network on Linux boxes. Make sure you also have an entry in /etc/hosts

You can change it at any time via the `hostname` command, but it likely won't be persistent across a reboot, whereas updating the 2 previously mentioned files, it will be.

Thing is, it resets in /etc/sysconfig/network every reboot also.

OK, so I've changed these three things, why would my helo still be saying localhost?
