Then there's Eudora, which, at least through version 6, will HELO with 
the local host name attached to the domain name of the SMTP server. 
This gets really annoying, because chances are that the resulting FQDN 
doesn't exist if you're dealing with a home computer named by the end user.

This of course can be resolved by requiring SMTP-AUTH, but when you 
still have half your users on POP-before-SMTP, it limits your options a bit.
