[Mimedefang] Bogus HELO filtering

For what it's worth, in yesterday's mail, 22% of what we rejected
said 'HELO columbia.edu' and 11% more said 'HELO 128.59.59.105' --
those are *our* hostname and IP -- no further analysis needed:
59,000 messages tossed.
So I'd say checking HELO is worthwhile. At least, reject mail that
claims to be from your own hostname and IP.
