Well, that's the point. If a mail system spoofs its HELO name, you might
want the option of rejecting it based on that criteria.
Sure, but then why not to check only the remote address ?
I don't understand what kind of security/reliability/trust the HELO
param adds. If you want to block specific hosts you should do that using
the remote-addr and not the helo param. Probably I'm missing something,
btw,
I said this just as a personal approach/idea: I'm not against a helo
checker in james (possibly with a disable option, as I don't want to run
unneeded dns resolutions).
