Huh? Are you sure those two are related? Although the Received header
doesn't look well-formed, the SMTP error shouldn't have anything to do
with e-amil headers (and it says as much: Helo command rejected -- look
your SMTP engine instead: probably, the sending machine needs to be
providing a fully-qualified DNS name instead of just a hostname).
