No, you need to change the *sending* side (ie on MacOS) to send something
sensible instead of "[]".

If that's not possible, setting helo_accept_junk_hosts = x (where 'x' is
the IP of your MacOS machine) on your Exim machine may help. However, this
is very much a "workaround" and it would be better to fix the problem
(i.e. silly HELO from the Mac) rather than telling Exim to ignore the
symptoms :)
