idunno but i'm not so sure 'example.com' is text from your machine.
first note the ip# 192.0.34.166 is a legit number. do something
like 'dig example.com' and lo, A 192.0.34.166.

name[number] notation often means 'name' is what's been given (HELO)
and number is ip# of actual connection.

it looks like your machine is trying to send mail to you@example.com,
and example.com is answering the HELO but ignoring you after that.
