I completly agree, we are rejecting bad/forged/unexistant HELO's
regardless of how people understands the rfc . Nowadays is a VERY good
way to catch spam and viruses beacuse none of them is able to provide
a good/valid HELO. In the other hand any postmaster is able to provide
a good HELO (takes less than 2 minutes to configure it) both by
providing an ip literal (for those without rdns control) or the true
hostname as rfc requires.
