Hi, I hope this letter finds you well,

I have Postfix behind NAT, and added one failover IP to the main router.

I wanted to "get by cheaply" by just doing something like

iptbales -t nat -I POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 25 -j DNAT --to <backup ip>

on the firewall machine.

So, all well, the only problem is that Postfix in this case has a wrong HELO compared to the rDNS that I have defined for the <backup IP> It does throw a warning that the <backup IP> doesn't resolve to it's hostname, but I'm not sure if I can define some kind of helo_host_maps ;) to resolve this. At this point, I wouldn't mind if someone pinpoints me to the right direction.

Can't you just fix the DNS? Use a HELO name that resolves to both IPs and give both IPs PTR records that point back to the name you use.
