|       5.2.5  HELO Command: RFC-821 Section 3.5
| 
|          The sender-SMTP MUST ensure that the <domain> parameter in a
|          HELO command is a valid principal host domain name for the
|          client host.  [[ .... ]]


And goes on to say:

         The HELO receiver MAY verify that the HELO parameter really
         corresponds to the IP address of the sender.  However, the
         receiver MUST NOT refuse to accept a message, even if the
         sender's HELO command fails verification.


Look familiar?
