I know there's a lot of controversy regarding bouncing mail where the
HELO/EHLO string doesn't match the real host name, but in reading RFC1123,
I came across this:
Note also that the HELO argument is still required to have
valid <domain> syntax, since it will appear in a Received:
line; otherwise, a 501 error is to be sent.
How many people actually bounce mail based on this rule?
