This is also a correct method. By setting your HELO to the name your IP
address resolves to, you are assured of delivery to most every site that
accepts mail from ISP dialups.
Note that many mailhosts not only refuse mail from blocks of IP addresses
that are known dialups but also reject mail from hostsnames including such
patterns as "cust" or "dialup" or "dynamic"
