4.95 - superfluous HELO check in ACL
Hello,

4.95 still has this in configure.default:

require message = nice hosts say HELO first
condition = ${if def:sender_helo_name}

This should be superfluous due to:
------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------+
|hosts_require_helo|Use: smtp|Type: host list*|Default: *|
+--------------------------------------------------------+

Exim will require an accepted HELO or EHLO command from a host matching
this list, before accepting a MAIL command.
------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, seems reasonable to drop that now.
Anyone changing the deafault presumably knows what they're
doing.
