Hello,
I installed postfix with webmin on Ubuntu14 LTS. For the reverse DNS, the name of the droplet is mydomain.com.
The result of postconf smtp_helo_name is:
root@Ubuntu-14LTS-NY1:~# postconf smtp_helo_name
postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/master.cf: undefined parameter: mua_sender_restrictions
postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/master.cf: undefined parameter: mua_client_restrictions
postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/master.cf: undefined parameter: mua_helo_restrictions
smtp_helo_name = $myhostname
Why smtp_helo_name reply $hotname, that looks strange.
And I have two warnings with http://mxtoolbox.com
In main.cf, I have:
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = mydomain.com, localhost
In /etc/mailname there is mydomain.com
What can I do to fix these warnings?
Thanks, Vincent.

But the name of the droplet is mydomain.com and it points back to the IP address 192.34.XXX.XXX.
The result of http://mxtoolbox.com for this is ok: SMTP Reverse DNS Mismatch OK - 192.34.XXX.XXX resolves to mydomain.com
That’s why I think the problem comes from my postfix config, but I am not sure.
