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
- Reverse DNS is not a valid Hostname
- Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner -
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.

I am having this same problem. Did you ever find the solution?
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.
Make your droplet name a hostname that points back to its IP address.
