Hello,

I have a small question here. Its more if something is valid as per RFC
or not..

Please observe the following header:

Received: from [202.144.239.148] (helo=lima) by mail.open-systems.org
with esmtp (TLSv1:DES-CBC3-SHA:168)

The machine here advertises as lima (from helo). However lima is not a
complete or FQDN name.

1) Is this valid?
2) If lets say the machine advertises as HELO=lima.foo.com, but
there's no valid A or AAAA record for lima.foo.com. Is this a valid
behaviour or is the sending machine breaking the RFC?

Thanks
