This is the way it is supposed to work, so as to try to keep your
multi-megabyte Exim log files just a little bit smaller than they might
otherwise be. The correct case is that the host does give its correct
name in HELO. The exception case is when it doesn't, and that's when
Exim is saying "this host is not behaving strictly correctly" by logging
the HELO value separately.
