Nope, that'll not work. Just tested on my box.

One might want to set them both perhaps, but you definitely need
change 'localhost' in the array... This is copied from the
pear/Mail/smtp.php file distributed with 0.5.1:
---------------------
    /**
     * Constructor.
     *
     * Instantiates a new Mail_smtp:: object based on the parameters
     * passed in. It looks for the following parameters:
     *     host        The server to connect to. Defaults to localhost.
     *     port        The port to connect to. Defaults to 25.
     *     auth        SMTP authentication.  Defaults to none.
     *     username    The username to use for SMTP auth. No default.
     *     password    The password to use for SMTP auth. No default.
     *     localhost   The local hostname / domain. Defaults to
localhost.
     *
     * If a parameter is present in the $params array, it replaces the
     * default.
---------------------
Hm, this means that the setting is a bit of a misnomer. Bummer.
Ok, why not do it like:
$mail_param = array('host' => QUARANTINE_MAIL_HOST, 'localhost' =>
QUARANTINE_MAIL_HELO);

And of course in conf.php:
// Quarantine settings
define(QUARANTINE_MAIL_HOST, "mail.ap1.se");
define(QUARANTINE_MAIL_HELO, "apmx.ap1.se");
define(QUARANTINE_FROM_ADDR, 'postmaster at mail.ap1.se');

(Those are actual working tested settings on a system similarily setup
as Isis).
