Looking at the messages in the Queue folder, there is a 'HELO
$string$' in the top Received line. I'm not sure how it would be done gracefully with a rule, but maybe a helper would do in this instance.
All the helper does is check the HELO value against a list (internal list to start out with, maybe graduating to a database in time).

It just got a lot more difficult, but not impossible.
