This parameter specifies optional restrictions on what SMTP clients can send in
SMTP HELO and EHLO commands.

<p>

The default is to permit everything.  The following restrictions
are available:

<ul>
<li>  <tt>permit_mynetworks:</tt> permit if the client address matches
        <a href=opt_mynetworks><tt>$mynetworks</tt></a>.
<li>  <tt>reject_unknown_client:</tt> reject the request if the client hostname is unknown.
<li>  <tt>reject_maps_rbl:</tt> reject if the client is listed under
        <a href=opt_maps_rbl_domains><tt>$maps_rbl_domains</tt></a>.
<li>  <tt>reject_invalid_hostname:</tt> reject HELO hostname with bad syntax.
<li>  <tt>reject_unknown_hostname:</tt> reject HELO hostname without DNS A or MX record.
<li>  <tt>reject_non_fqdn_hostname:</tt> reject HELO hostname that is not in FQDN form
<li>  <tt>check_helo_access maptype:mapname:</tt> look up HELO hostname or parent domains.
	Reject if result is REJECT or &quot;[45]xx text&quot;.
	Permit otherwise.
<li>  <tt>check_client_access maptype:mapname:</tt> see
        <a href=opt_smtpd_client_restrictions>smtpd_client_restrictions</a>.
<li>  <tt>reject:</tt> reject the request. Place this at the end of a restriction.
<li>  <tt>permit:</tt> permit the request. Place this at the end of a restriction.
</ul>

Restrictions are applied in the order as specified; the first
restriction that matches wins.
