Hi everyone,

I am trying to resolve what I perceive to be a configuration issue, but
may indicate an underlying problem:  Under what conditions would a HELO
check be skipped?

Please take a close look at the following log entries.  This is an
example of something I have been watching happen increasingly in the
past (7) days.  The HELO check does not process during the second
delayed SMTP session:

(watch for wrap)

The second attempt *should* have failed the HELO check also, but
didn't.  The HELO used was "hjpgere".  The same email (from the corpus)
fails the Analyzer test for the HELO check.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.  Thanks!
