Got the doc's and read through the approprate sections. The documents 
describe the HELO portion of the smtpserver config file as containing 2 
fields. 

This is from the the older docs just for simplicity(I have problems 
cutting and pasting Postscript).
#
# HELO/EHLO-pattern     style-flags
#               [max loadavg]
#
localhost           999 ftveR
some.host.domain    999 !NO EMAIL ACCEPTED FROM YOUR MACHINE
\[*\]               999 ve
*                   999 veR

There appear to be 3 fields. I assume the middle one is "max loadavg" but 
I am not sure.

What I have done is to comment out the:"\[*\]               999 ve"

Is it safe to assume that No valid Email source will be sending mail from 
a non resolved address?
