mike.a added the comment: The greeting value is the HELO/EHLO identity. RFC 4408 (SPF) recommends checking both the mail from domain as well as the HELO identity, so this value is useful and could be passed to proc_message() function (API for "doing something useful with this message"). Later versions of the code pass the same values, so this is relevant for 2.7, 3.2, and 3.3.
