Beats me, test it.  Multi-HELO appears to be rather abnormal
if I got Ralf's drift.  The last accepted HELO could be still
"the" HELO.  

I'm surprised to discover that it can.  I'd always imagined that
such a fail would return the client to the state where they 
had to HELO first, but ...

It won't surprise me if different servers have
their own ideas about multi-HELO.

Yes, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
