mail server, so i have no control over what they use as a HELO/EHLO

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.
