Andreas, i know the difference between the SMTP banner and SMTP helo,
and i was not expecting to see "$smtpd_banner" as helo response.

I just was trying to use "smtp_helo_name", because i wrongly believed
that it was a string used while responding to an HELO command. As
Wolfgang pointed out, this is not the fact.

Thank you for your time.
