Why do these email address patterns appear in a HELO access(5) map?

Because 9 years ago or so it is what I was told to do. On this list, I'm
pretty sure.

In HELO?

Doesn't sound right, does it. Did helo checks used to apply to the entire pre-DATA part of the transaction?

There are scenarios in which non HELO checks can be placed under smtpd_helo_restrictions, but in your case you explicitly call check_helo_access and then reference a map with email address patterns on the LHS. Don't believe everything you read on the list, or at least confirm it with the documentation.
