I agree with you, for the most part. However, I do feel it's worthwhile
to reject mail from servers that HELO/EHLO with my own name. Over the
last year I've never had a false positive on this. When you consider a
lot of our mail comes from other schools that have a record of technical
incompetence and poorly configured Windows servers, this is a pretty
good indicator of spam.

As always, YMMV.
