Chris *thanks for asking* ;-)

Short answer: in the HELO section, the earliest the '$sender_host_name'
could be determined.

Longer answer:

Incorrect placement of any test within the wrong section of the SMTP
sequnce is a major cause of frustration.

Easily readable SMTP sequence tables that list what information is
passed at each step are scarce.

Have a look at:
