No, it's NOT good practice. Seriously. Without battering the point, it's really perfectly legit for an MTA to use different HELO names (say, based on hosting of virtual servers), whilst the IP address for that MTA has a
OK, we recognize the existence of virtual hosts. I know MDaemon used to switch the helo based on the recipient domain, it may still.

There is really nothing score-worthy about that (spam-wise). Your example, btw, on my server would be REJECT-ed for another reason, though: Go away, spammer! [213.39.204.131]: "United Kingdom" [.uk HELO] != "Germany" [.de PTR]" In the strictest sense, I'm not allowed to do that, either. But my rationale is, that the connecting host's HELO is perpetrating a lie here that under any reasonable circumstance is just irreconcilable with the PTR (the MTA simply cannot be in both countries at the same time).
What if my email virtual host isn't in the same country as me and the rest of my stuff?
