	Like I recall telling last night, at 2.99.26 I changed this
	somewhat.  Now it will report differently:

	HELO 12.34.56.78
	250-            ^
	250-Invalid `HELO 12.34.56.78' parameter!
	250-Err: Should this be of <dotnum> format ? ( [nn.nn.nn.nn] )
	250 nic.funet.fi expected "HELO mea.cc.utu.fi"


	And now the  MAIL FROM:<...> will succeed.

	Yes, HELO parameter should be either:
		[12.34.56.78]
	or:
		some-pc.widearea.co.uk

	Well, maybe the Macintosh is looking them up in wrong way ?
	The ZMailer check them up too, but it doesn't affect on what
	the SMTP-client gave to it..
