Indeed I made an error, but no: this is not where the confusion is
coming from.  See my other reply, seconds ago.

You keep insisting that the implicit "+a" authorizes sending email.
It does not.  It only authorizes HELO.  I have pointed this out on
several occasions now, yet you keep talking about sending mail
(MAIL FROM).

The HELO command is the first command in a SMTP session intended to
transfer mail from client to server.  What purpose does it serve to
authorize a host to HELO that you do not authorize to send mail (issue a
MAILFROM command with your return-path)?  If it is not authorized to
issue MAILFROM, it has no legitimate need to HELO.
