Agreed. However it's worth installing the ACL mentioned previously for
blocking single word HELO/EHLO's for performance reasons. I've been
using a similar ACL for a few weeks now, and yesterday the normal 2-5000
emails blocked with this took a jump to over 30,000. I'd rather not dump
those extra mails through a virus checker.
