Default helo is localhost #20

Closed p-rintz closed 7 years ago

p-rintz commented 7 years ago

From what I can see the default helo that gomail sends out is "localhost" and multipass has no option to change this. This makes sending email over smtp fail if the server requires a correct FQDN.

<localhost>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname

I am considering removing support for SMTP/MTA altogether and go with supporting only mail clients. MSA support was requested in #11 and added in 99ad323.

Implementing a correct MTA requires managing and queueing mail which is outside the scope of this project.

In that case, Id appreciate if the documentation could be updated for that. Because for a layman like me its not entirely clear how the feature should work now :+1:

The smtp_client feature is documented in the README.md file. The example uses the sendmail command which is available on most *nix systems.
