[Mimedefang] Tweaking Sendmail's HELO

I was wondering about how the milter code works in Sendmail, and the fact that if the filter_helo() rejects the message, then HELO still responds with 250 and moves to the next stage, but when a EXPN or MAIL FROM: is seen, then Sendmail gives the error status from the previous HELO rejection.
