The documentatation should probably be adjusted to make that more clear.
Right now it reads:

     Reject the request when the HELO or EHLO hostname is not in fully-
     qualified domain form, as required by the RFC.

Is there any restriction verb that would cause a HELO/EHLO which specifies
a square-bracketed dotted quad IPv4 address to be rejected when & if the
dotted quad does not match the actual current client IP address?

Would reject_unknown_helo_hostname do it?  If not maybe a new restriction
verb would be useful to perform this exact check.

I am not using postscreen at the present time.

Do I need to use that if I want to perform RHSBL checks?
