I have an issue with mails coming from this forum: Our Emailserver does reject them with following error:

NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 209-20-90-183.slicehost.net[209.20.90.183]: 504 5.5.2 <qcubed>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<www-data@qcu.be> to=<xxx> proto=ESMTP helo=<qcubed>

I can problaby convince my company to make an exception-rule for qcu.be, but i think it would be nicer if it used a fully-qualified hostname. I can imagine that other mailservers behave so too (in order to protect its users from typical spam-patterns).
As far as I understand the problem seems to be the "helo=". Our Mailserver probably expects something like "qcu.be".
