Most of my customers don't own their own servers. They are using email hosted by some other company. Just yesterday GoDaddy started blocking all servers whose helo didn't match the IP address that it was coming from. I was using junkemailfilter.com for all my HELO. So they bounced all the mail for 4 domains.
