Generally, the HELO domain is different from the MAIL FROM domain, so there
is no conflict.

example.com             TXT "v=spf1 mx -all"
mx1.example.com         TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
mx2.example.com         TXT "v=spf1 a -all"

We need a way to use *one record* for both the MAIL FROM and HELO checks.
Very few domains publish SPF records for each and every HELO name.  I don't
believe "evangelism" will ever change that.

That is trivial too.  You can pick any name you wish for HELO, including
a domain the same as MAIL FROM.
