Hello,
I am confused by this test.
It says it's about 8.1/6 which would be:
The following macro letters are expanded in term arguments:
s = <sender>
l = local-part of <sender>
o = domain of <sender>
d = <domain>
i = <ip>
p = the validated domain name of <ip>
v = the string "in-addr" if <ip> is ipv4, or "ip6" if <ip> is ipv6
h = HELO/EHLO domain
And in this case, HELO domain is OEMCOMPUTER.
Now, what is the implementation supposed to do? Check if h expands to
OEMCOMPUTER? I am guessing not?
Should I just check that HELO/EHLO domain is valid according to RFC 2822?
Or is it really about 2.1 in rfc4408 and the recommended check of the HELO
identity?
Or about giving a syntax error on "a:OEMCOMPUTER" ? Because that kind of
things can happen just as well with valid helo domains, and then the test's
name is confusing.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
