Author Cleaning up Email header - help

Good Day,

I'd like to clean up the header information that is sent from my SMTP
server. Belower is the received from portion of the email that is sent from
my SMTP Server. Why do i get an unverified message? How can i change
mycomputername to show mycomputername.domainname.com?

Thanks


Received: from mycomputername ([127.0.0.1] unverified) by
mycomputername.mydomainname.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713);

The unverified bit is the reverse DNS checking failing (this can be
disabled somewhere in the config, probably in the part dealing with
incoming connections).

The localhost bit is because the client is sending that in the ehlo
parameter (as this is a loopback connection it is correct in this).
You may be able to fix this by changing the localhost entry in the
hosts file to specify server.domain.com, however, this may cause other
issues.

If you have a network with a DNS server, you could connect to the
server via its network interface and maybe get the relevant DNS info.
This may solve both problems, depending on the setup.
