Thank you for fast response and for the fast reaction.

I was assured to get no or only an unmet answer from a rbl operator - i
am very impressed about my mistake  :-) 


Anyhow - i am not to be about to do a renaming for two main reasons:
- it is really braindead to filter for a name with this consequences - 
  my hostname is in difference to bad maintained windowsboxes in fact
  rfc2821 compilant (fqdn) - windows boxes jelling out OEMCOMPUTER without
  a domain part.
  And you get them into the trap within the HELO/EHLO with the common
  smtpd helo restrictions (HELO required, invalid hostname, unknown
  hostname, strict-821-style-envelope, jaddar, jaddar, jaddar).

  What will be the next if a big vendor will sell boxes with default
  name 'mail' or 'mx' or 'www'?

- A name check is not a technical but a social check.
  I am real against social checks for technical difficulties, especial
  in the internet with so many different cultures and people.
  
  If you really need to do social 'weak' checks, inspect the result by
  technical 'hard' probes to verify. At that point it is essential to probe 
  in a active way. Yes, i know, that you cannot do this because of
  missing man-, machine- and financepower. 
  Think about it.
