Below is what Hostmonster told me was wrong with Thunderbird sending mail through thier service: I don't know what the ehlo-helo value should be .
This is a link they sent on how to change it in TB but I don't know exactly what to change what to what:
Hostmonster answer to TB problem sending out mail thru them----------------------------------------------
It's an issue with how thunderbird is presenting itself in the HELO
It's using a method that spammers typically use, by claiming to be a localhost user when it isn't
In the information it is giving, it is claiming to be a localhost user, or coming from 127.0.0.1, when it is not a part of our server at bluehost
The ehlo-helo value needs to be fixed.
This guide may help: blog.plee.me/2014/11/mozilla-thunderbird-changing-the-ehlo-helo-value-in-the-received-header-for-outgoing-mail
Thank you,
HostMonster Support
Here is my current TB settings. Some are for Hostclear which I am currently trying to switch to.

Let me guess.
At one moment a few weeks ago someone suggested that I transfer my domain name to a 3rd party host and then reconstruct my site and email etc.
I am guessing something is trying to acquire my domain name and will do whatever it needs to keep me in the dark.
This is only a guess.
I still have no response to this problem.
Send me a message via Opera.
xenos at gmx dot co dot uk
I'll send you a message from Opera to: xenos@gmx.co.uk
Garry has sent me a message using Opera. It omits the machine's local address. It appears as if sent using his public IP address, as issued by his ISP.
All the messages I have here that I have looked at and were sent by Thunderbird include the machine's local address, usually some variant of 192.168.0.0/16
None of the ISPs or SMTP servers I can test with have objected to this. So far, I have demonstrated that bt.com, gmx.com and Microsoft's SMTP server are all quite happy with a local private LAN address as the message's origin.
Hostclear are clearly out of line here. Maybe they expect all their clients to use webmail exclusively. ;-)

Hostclear support the use of imap email clients but they do not go further than supporting email if the webmail client they provide such as roundcube work.
If I send mail directly from their webmail client it works of course.
Hostclear doesn't care about the problem if their webmail clients work.
I still don't know how to get Thunderbird to work with hostclear.
Since hostmonster had the same problem I assume all of the related companies have the same problem. Is there no more people with this problem?
I seems to have started around the end of August.
It seems clear to me now that if I could have thunderbird omit my machines ip address then I should be able to send mail thru my hosted email accounts.
How do I stop Thunderbird from sending out my machine ip address?
I don't have any experience in this so I will need step by step instructions.
Your initial post contains a link to a site with step by step instructions.
Yes but I don't understand what they are trying to say.
I can get the config file open but don't know what to change.
There are dozens of IP addresses.
Is there a way to send a copy so you can see?
Dang! I wrote out a reply and I don't know where it's gone.
Maybe I'll try again later…
Did you find what you were going to send?
