Hi,
I searched through the previous emails on this issue and I did find some 
stuff on it.
I'm having problems with the sendmail HELO

WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than 
what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a 
space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail 
using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by 
anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and 
RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should 
have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test 
may use a cached DNS record.
domain2.com claims to be host domain1.com [but that host is at 
192.168.0.1(may be cached), not 192.168.0.2].

I changed the domains and IP addresses of the error :)
I checked my sendmail.cf and it is showing the proper (O 
SmtpGreetingMessage=$?{if_name}${if_name}$|$j$. Sendmail Ready; $b)
However I still get that error with all other domain names on the BQ other 
than the Main server name.
Is there anything else I should be checking for?
Thanks,
