SMTP allow empty MAILFROM command (<>): If you selected this check box, it will reject many spams, but it can't send some return receipts either.
HELO Command
During the process of SMTP interaction, AAMail server will send a command "HELO test.com".
The above command is the HELO Command, and the "test.com" is called "Hello String".
If it prompts the error message like "Helo command rejected: Invalid name" on your server, then on the toolbar of AAMail, please click the "Settings -> Network" to check the Hello String, and the default value is "%Domain%".
If you need to upgrade AAMail from the old version to AAMail 5.0, then, you need to confirm whether the Hello String parameter is "%Domain%". The steps are as follows.
1) In the main interface of AAMail, click the "Settings -> Network".
2) In the pop up "Server settings" dialog box, click the "Network" tab, then change the parameter in "SMTP HELO" edit box to "%Domain%", and click the "OK" button (Figure 1-5)
