Misconfigured mailserver

Your mailserver is claiming to be 'web01', but doesn't mention any domain.
According to the RFC, a mailserver should not accept mail from such a server.
What this means, is that a lot of people won't be able to register because they never receive the activation email because their ISP denies mail from servers that do not exist.

Spammers use this technique all the time, which is partly why this policy exists.

This seems like a serious suggestion, but I'm too n00b to see whether you're right or not. With suggestions like these; those that you do not need comments or replies from other users from, I suggest you go to #aq2world and personally talk to one of the admins about your issue. Here, you run the chance it will only gather proverbial dust...
