Only if the ACTUAL connection is coming from a recognized client IP. It 
may also have to match the IP literal given, but at a minimum "we trust

Because the name of 72.208.72.31 isn't '[10.0.1.20]'

HOWEVER: No MUA should ever be tryng to interpret any part of a response 
to EHLO other than the 3-digit reply code, whether it is followed in a 
line by a space or hyphen, and what is in the list of extensions.
