I find the following bounce rather funny since the thread was about
rejecting HELOs. I think the following is a bit too strict as it rejects
too much. If the check had simply did a lookup of my domain, animx.eu.org,
it would have found the ip 216.98.75.249. I can't fix this as 1)
dial249.pm3abing3.abingdonpm.naxs.com is not my mail domain (who is going to
type that) and 2) I have no control over the rDNS.
