But it breaks existing filters; we need the helo arg back. And there's a good reason to pass HELO in filter_sender (and filter_recipient, for that matter): You may WANT to defer your HELO processing until later. Our commercial products, for example, let individual recipients decide if they want to use various rules, which means we need to defer all processing until at least RCPT. > In any case, the variable continues to be present in $Helo. Not in filter_sender if we use your patch, unless we parse the commands file manually. If you re-work your patch to leave filter_sender as it was, I will include it in the official release.
