Nope, all a unverified HELO/EHLO host is, is just a host whos HELO/EHLO
hostname does not match a DNS PTR record for the connecting IP that has
a DNS A/CNAME record that points to the same name, i.e.:
HELO hostname = 123.123.123.123
DNS PTR for IP = 213.135.70.108
DNS A for PTR = irm-4-13.dialup.access.telecore.net.ru
That is an unverified host, a verified host would be:
HELO hostname = irm-4-13.dialup.access.telecore.net.ru
DNS PTR for IP = 213.135.70.108
DNS A for PTR = irm-4-13.dialup.access.telecore.net.ru

In the situation that you are in, there is a host that is trying to tell
you that they are you, there have been lots of examples of ways to look
for this in ACL's, I can post some examples if needed but I would first go
look here:

or, I can post a fairly long list of HELO and connection checks that I use
if you can not find what you need.
