+1. Callouts were setting the name used for EHLO/HELO from $smtp_active_
+hostname. This is wrong, because it relates to the incoming message (and
+probably the interface on which it is arriving) and not to the outgoing
+callout (which could be using a different interface). This has been
+changed to use the value of the helo_data option from the smtp transport
+instead - this is what is used when a message is actually being sent. If
+there is no remote transport (possible with a router that sets up host
+addresses), $smtp_active_hostname is used. This change is mentioned here in
+case somebody is relying on the use of $smtp_active_hostname.
