Don't use that but I will get the patch anyway.

Not from the helo lines I was seeing. Typically they are just single
element names like HELO Bobs_pc. Most looked like they might have been
assigned by an MIS department somewhere. Possibly some M$ mailer that
uses the local PC name as defined for the local lan.
I guess I'll have to maintain a patch for it, as I don't want to have
our support people having to explain why customers have to rename
machines on their lan.
