exchange 2010 receive connector FQDN
I have an exchange 2010 email server that has multiple domains. the main domain that the server was created internally is with the main AD mail.xyz.com. However I have another OU that has a domain of abcd.com. That email sends and receives okay through out the internet. However some email servers drop the emails because of mismatch smtp banners and reverse lookup dns. I have the reverse lookup dns resolved but when I test my email server on mxtoolbox I get the smtp banner failed and I see the banner with the wrong domain. The receive connector allows the enter to be null or just host name but I cannot change the FQDN to a domain that I would like nor could I define more that one domain.
Does this mean that I will always be plagued with email servers that reject my emails?
Most of the servers accept my emails, it just looks like some of the ones that check for relaying or think spam reject my emails.

maybe this mail.abc.com needs to be mail.xyz.com? is this all in the receive connectors?
when I test the email server at mxtoolbox the only thing that fails is the smtp banner.

I believe my defined dns records are correct. However, something is right that I am missing. I am not sure about SPF records, I have not defined any.
I have checked my dns entries for the domains. The server is behind a firewall and have internal addresses. I nat out for public IP's. I also have my ISP put in reverse records for my public IP's. When I use MXtool box everything checks out okay other than the banner.
However when I do send myself an email to my private email I do see my main domain name in the header.
In those 550 errors like I stated above "turn on SMTP authentication ... " what is the receiving server looking for that I am missing?
also any one that I can call and get some remote consultation?

I was missing SPF record in my domain service provider. I entered a record and I will see if it works
