That's a rule I use in SA, but unfortunately, I don't know of a way to tell
sendmail to do this. It only rejects so-called BOGUS_HELO which seems to
only mean it rejects if no HELO/EHLO given at all.

I'm not sure if there's a way to get sendmail to do it alone, but there was a discussion last week on the MIMEDefang mailing list on how to do this with MD's filter_relay function, which runs just after "MAIL FROM" is received. I've seen a huge number of sites using our server's IP as their HELO, and a few using its hostname.


Some sample code:
