No, verify = helo checks that the HELO name resolves to the remote IP address
*or* the IP address reverse-resolves to the HELO name (or if the HELO name is
an IP literal, that it matches the remote address). So verify = helo is sane.
(Unfortunately some big players, like Hotmail, use HELO names that fail this
test.)
