RFC2821 says:
- The domain name given in the EHLO command MUST BE either a primary
host name (a domain name that resolves to an A RR) or, if the host
has no name, an address literal as described in section 4.1.1.1.
So, pretty much, HELO or EHLO greeting _must_ match to an IP.
(RFC821 actually wanted the HELO to match the connecting host, but
2821 just says it must be an A record or an address literal).
