JR> reject_unknown_helo_hostname is known to produce quite a lot of false

The postfix main.cf documentation says for reject_unknown_helo_hostname:

"Reject the request when the HELO or EHLO hostname has no DNS A or MX record. "

http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html has a comment

 # Don't talk to mail systems that don't know their own hostname.
 # With Postfix < 2.3, specify reject_unknown_hostname.
 smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_unknown_helo_hostname


I am confused care to elaborate.
