------- Comment #2 from peter@??? 2007-02-07 15:19 -------
3 separate bugs came to light here:

1) The original bug - no fallback to HELO checking on null senders
2) When bailing out of checking and simulating SPF_RESULT_PERMERR, the
translation of the error code into spf_result was skipped
3) The spf_result for SPF_RESULT_PERMERR is not 'err_perm' as expected by the
code, but 'Unknown (Permanent error)', which can't be tested for.

The patch corrects 1) and 2), and partially addreses bug 464 - if used in the
acl_smtp_helo acl, the spf= condition will check the sender_helo_name.
