Meaning that there was no RDNS for 206.74.184.2 and when it said helo, it
said "HELO [206.74.184.2]". However, SA is not parsing it that way. So, can
anyone tell me how to write the received header so SA understands it?

Hmm...  I think if you replace "HELO" with "unknown" that it might
parse.  I did not look at the SA parsing rules but a typical MTA would
have placed "unknown" there instead of the HELO.

as far as I understand it, the string in parentheses is the helo string and
that's why is HELO there. Typical MTA places helo string before parentheses
and RDNS and/or IP between them. Seems this is the opposite case.


That's correct. CommuniGate puts the DNS based information before the parentheses, and puts non-DNS based information inside the parentheses (for authenticated email, it puts the authenticated user account instead of the HELO info, for non-authenticated it puts the HELO string, but there's also a third case which I'm not recalling at the moment).
