I believe "syntactically invalid argument" is rather caused by illegal
characters or, as it seems in this case, no characters at all.
helo_accept_junk_hosts can be used to bypass HELO syntax checking for certain
hosts.

helo_verify_hosts determine which hosts undergo semantic checking, i.e. that
the HELO name matches the IP address.
