Your HELO has nothing to do with your source IP, and you can't
possibly expect a multi-homed server to adjust its HELO to the
interface it happens across.   Expecting the reverse DNS of the source
IP to give a name that has the same IP in an A record lookup is
somewhat different, but still I don't think that is an actual
requirement.   As a mail admin, you are of course free to discard your
users' mail for any whimsical reason you like, but if you want to say
it is a requirement, please quote the MUST in an RFC.
