[Bug 7770] New: KHOP_HELO_FCRDNS falsely triggers if HELO is uppercase.

https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7770

            Bug ID: 7770
           Summary: KHOP_HELO_FCRDNS falsely triggers if HELO is
                    uppercase.
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.4.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Rules
          Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
          Reporter: mrl@psfc.mit.edu
  Target Milestone: Undefined

The rule is triggered if HELO is upper case:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.0 (2014-02-07) on psfcmail.mit.edu
X-Spam-Level: *
X-Spam-Status: No, score=1.4 required=5.0 tests=BODY_URI_ONLY,EMPTY_MESS,
        KHOP_HELO_FCRDNS autolearn=disabled version=3.4.0
Received: from w92exedge4.exchange.mit.edu (W92EXEDGE4.EXCHANGE.MIT.EDU

xA7GffnY019
407
        for <xx...@psfc.mit.edu>; Thu, 7 Nov 2019 11:41:44 -0500

But if the HELO is lowercase, it doesn't trigger.

I don't see the useful of this rule, by itself.  A score of .4 is simply too
small to make a difference for the handful of spams,  i.e. < 5, that managed to
avoid detection at my site, that weren't caught by other means.   

I.e., about 400 spams that triggered that rule, were either blocked due to RBLs
or came from the .eu domain.

The few other spams, either had SPF_HELO_SOFTFAIL or SPF_FAIL.   

So if you want to combine KHOP_HELO_FCRDNS with those other rules, and then
assign it a decently high score (right now, it's only .4), then it might be
useful.

FWIW it's not specifically when it's upper case. It's looking for a mismatch
between helo and rdns, and the check is case-sensitive.

Changed to case-insensitive. Probably doesn't make difference either way.
