It isn't, for the majority of domains.

The FAKE_HELO_DOTCOM rule only applies to the specific domains listed in the
regex:

In other words, only the following domains will match:
msn.com
yahoo.com
yourwebsite.com
lycos.com
excite.com
cs.com
aol.com
localhost.com
koreanmail.com
allexecs.com
mydomain.com
juno.com
eudoramail.com
compuserve.com
desertmail.com
excite.com (no, I don't know why it's listed twice either)
caramail.com

Mail from any other domain will not match this rule.

Regards,

Antony.
