If you're running a serveronly, you most likely have a firewall in front of it,
where you can block IP/subnet

Denying sender's IP can be done by qpsmtpd directly (although far less
efficient than at the IP layer), but it should then be in its own qpsmtpd
plugin, not in the helo plugin.

The original request in this bug was to allow regex matching in badhelo, which
is now possible in the new qpsmtpd (only for SME9). Adding a new plugin to drop
connection depending on the serder's IP should be done in a new bug.
