[ale] Sendmail

[Bao C. Ha]

Check what is the HELO from your server.  I have
gotten into a situation where hotmail servers
ignore me because I do "HELO localhost.local".
Change it to "HELO real.servername.com" and it
works.  It is a primitive Spam measure, but I
would not fault hotmail.com for that.
