Maybe you should?
This is his test:
if ($ip ne $helo)
$ip is *always* of the form ###.###.###.###.
$helo can *never* be of that form *if* the connecting machine follows
the RFC...it must be either foobar.domain.tld or [###.###.###.###].
So, if everybody followed RFC, that test can never be true, thus it
will reject all mail.
As you said, it will only reject *almost* all e-mail, because a few
machines don't follow RFC.
