No problem. I'd appreciate it a lot if you could quote properly and not
top-post though. Thanks.

Yep.

Just a list of hostnames, like:

my.mail.server
another.name.for.my.mail.server

No, it will only block mail where the sender HELO'd with a hostname which
*is* in the file. In other words, the file is a "HELO blacklist".
If the HELO isn't in the file, the condition evaluates to "no", and the
entire ACL rule is skipped.
