Thanks for your help Peter but it's not working I tried
helo_accept_junk_hosts to accept it all and then when I do verify = helo
it checks it too strictly and I get a ton of false positives. I'm trying
to make an ACL capture bad helo using the less strict testing. I can't
seem to find out how to do that.
