Ok, but what about the client side?  I was talking about the client software
and how many are designed to work. I'm sure you can figure it out.  There is
a reason for not being reliable. :-)

The client side (I assume you mean MUAs) should not be sending mail
directly.  They should go through a proper MTA.  That MTA can be at an
ISP for Windows users, or on the same machine for users of a real OS.

The MTA will of course accept funky HELO names from internal clients.  But
that doesn't translate into accepting funky HELO names from external MTAs.
