My personal choice.

This would be dropped at my server. I do some HELO checking. To me, this
looks like spam.

HELOs are accepted if they have atleast 1 dot and doesn't appear at the
beginning or end of the string. x.x would be accepted. I don't do any dns
lookups for this. If you HELO as some domains (ie hotmail.com), I do check
to see if the hostname ends with hotmail.com.
