Hi there. I've been following a tutorial here:
http://www.freespamfilter.org/FC4.html#_Toc110999175 and have come to
the stage where ive got to test postfix.

his instructions say:
##########################
postfix start

telnet <your server's IP> 25

helo 10.10.10.10 Put your IP instead

mail from:test(a)gmail.com You can use your Hotmail/Gmail address
here

rcpt to: you(a)yourdomain.com

############################

this is where i get the issue. As son as i do:

rcpt to: you(a)yourdomain.com (tried a few aswell) i just get:

504 5.5.2 <comp ip>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified
hostname

any ideas please?

Give us an output of your configuration. More specifically, what is
your $mydomain set to in main.cf?
