The top-posting made this thread hard to follow. Please don't do that.

1. You reject using reject_unknown_helo_hostname
2. A miracle happens, and the rejected postmaster fixes the HELO
3. Same client reconnects and message is delivered.

You want #3 to be noted in your logs. This is not possible natively in
Postfix. You would have to write a policy service which would maintain
a database of unresolvable HELO hostnames, and check new connections
against that database.

Regarding #2 above, it doesn't seem likely to happen in my part of the
Internet. In fact I don't consider reject_unknown_helo_hostname safe.
If you have a lot of leverage over your correspondents, maybe.
