Thanks Paul,

In (Regular Expression to Validate Format of HELO*) field I have ,
^(([a-z\d][a-z\d-]*)?[a-z\d]\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$

Under my (Regular Expression to Invalidate Format of HELO*) file I have
these settings.

^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$
^[^\.]+\.?$
\d{1,3}(\.|-|x)\d{1,3}(\.|-|x)\d{1,3}
\.intra$
\.local$
\.lan$
\.priv$
\.private$
\.localdomain$
\.online$

>From logs there are lots of detected real spam but there are also some
legitimate mail, please see below,

These are legitimate emails and should pass
