spec.txt is a good place to start.

I got this (and a little extra) with a `grep -10 helo_allow_chars spec.txt`)


helo_allow_chars           Use: main   Type: string             Default: unset


    This option can be set to a string of rogue characters that are permitted
    in all EHLO and HELO names in addition to the standard letters, digits,
    hyphens, and dots. If you really must allow underscores, you can set


      helo_allow_chars = _


    Note that the value is one string, not a list.
