The problem is that RFC2821 explicitly forbids this.  The parameter

In which part of RFC2821 does it say that it must be the primary name?

Alex previosly quoted:
para 3.6:

   The domain name given in the EHLO command MUST BE either a primary
   host name (a domain name that resolves to an A RR) or, if the host
   has no name, an address literal as described in section 4.1.1.1.

I note that it says _a_ primary hostname, but I couldn't tell you what 
the correct interpretation is.
