It's trivial to get right, in a trivial situation.
If my laptop, which can be connected to the net in any one of dozens
of places, gets a network connection from somewhere new where I have
no idea what the emerging IP address from being behind NAT will be
(especially when it's dynamic and I have no idea what the IP/name is
day to day) I'm supposed to find out and change my mail server config
before sending mail ? Screw that ...
HELO/EHLO isn't reliable. No one with any sense cares about the name
provided.
