Sorry if this has been asked before, but there was a ton of stuff on the
list about the new HELO option and I couldn't think of a way to search for
what I'm looking for.

When testing a HELO argument (alaia01.alaia.net, let's say), what is the
TXT record that would be looked up--alaia01.alaia.net or alaia.net?


Only the complete name alaia01.alaia.net. There is no inherent/easy guarantee in DNS that the domains are owned by the same people as the parent domain. (Your MX server should have an SPF record anyway...)
