RFC1123:
|      5.2.5  HELO Command: RFC-821 Section 3.5
| 
|         The sender-SMTP MUST ensure that the <domain> parameter in a
|         HELO command is a valid principal host domain name for the
|         client host.  As a result, the receiver-SMTP will not have to
|         perform MX resolution on this name in order to validate the
|         HELO parameter.

|
|         The HELO receiver MAY verify that the HELO parameter really
|         corresponds to the IP address of the sender.  However, the
|         receiver MUST NOT refuse to accept a message, even if the
|         sender's HELO command fails verification.
