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..
