Strange header (localdomain?)

[jonny]

My outbound, internet emails are being marked as spam / being rejected by numerous mailservers - here's an example header:

Received: (qmail 24922 invoked by uid 1004); 23 Mar 2006 20:10:45 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO mail.company.com) (195.54.229.58)

I am presuming that sendmail is misconfigured somewhere? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
jonny.

nslookup shows...

# nslookup -sil 195.54.229.58
Server: 10.17.112.100
Address: 10.17.112.100#53

Non-authoritative answer:
58.229.54.195.in-addr.arpa name = adsl-58.cust.atlas.net.uk.

Authoritative answers can be found from:

Many mail hosts will reject your mailer if they encounter a non-authoritative answer on reverse dns lookups.

Have a look at this post...

... and a non-authoritative response is often a result of a misconfigured name server.

However, I'm not convinced that's the problem in this case, Don, I don't suppose 10.17.112.100 is authoritative for any external IP address :-)

However, since 195.54.229.58 appears to be an ADSL IP address it may be being treated as a portable IP address (ie non-static) -- your ISP might know. You could also try configuring a smarthost on "mail.company.com" to send all mail to the mail server that your ISP provides (probably something like smtp.atlas.co.uk but I've not been able to guess the name).
