[Ossec-list] ossec can't send e-mail

[nico at sonycom.com (Nico De Ranter)]

Hi 

I'm trying out ossec-hids on Debian (sid). I've got 1 server and 2
agents configured. However in the ossec.log file on the server I see a
lot of messages like:

2006/04/05 15:58:30 os_sendmail(1703): Hello not accepted by server:220
xxxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.12.10; Wed, 5 Apr 2006
15:58:30 +0200 (MEST)
2006/04/05 15:58:30 ossec-maild(1223): Error Sending email to
xx.xx.xx.xx (smtp server)

I don't understand why I get this message. I can send e-mail from the
command-line using mailx without problems. I tried doing a telnet to
port 25 on the mail server and doing 'helo myserver.mydomain.com' and
that was accepted also. Why can't ossec send e-mail?
