incorrect hostname showing up

I am new to all of this but is there a way for the virtual host name to show up instead of the actual hostname of the machine.

Example hostname = lasvegas virtual server domain pointmail.biz virtual mail server mail.pointmail.biz

Response from pingability.com Server Name None IP 24.173.255.35 Location United States Mail Server For *@pointmail.biz MX Priority 10 Connect Response Time 417ms Server 'Hello' Line 220 lasvegas.phoenixbroadband.net

Yes, you can tell Postfix to use some other name in the smtp_helo_name directive (in main.cf). This option actually appears to be missing in the Postfix module...I'll get that fixed. Please don't use the myorigin option (which is in the Webmin module) for this purpose (I frequently see it abused this way, and I can see why now that I note how its labeled in Webmin)...it has further reaching impact that merely changing the HELO, and can easily lead to mail delivery failures.

Did you ever fix this? If so, where do I configure it?
