Nor the "HELO=" parameter, because milters process SMTP commands, not
artbitrary attributes. Since you see "220" after "XCLIENT", send
the desired EHLO command at that point.
This means that the "HELO" parameter for "XCLIENT" could arguably be
deprecated, you are free to not send "HELO=" with XCLIENT. If you do
sent it, and don't EHLO/HELO after 220, it will only apply to Postfix
restrictions, not milters.
