Yes, very informative. Apparently it was "sent by 'mail'". :D

"Helo" is the active ingredient in this message. Your e-mail server
software is introducing itself as just "mail" instead of a
fully-qualified hostname. My server is configured to reject mail from
servers with this misconfiguration because a _lot_ of servers that don't
have a correct EHLO/HELO are also spam relays due to other
misconfigurations. It's gotta be in there somewhere. :)

It wants you to run real mail server software, like postfix. ;)
