As I sayd before I tested it and found that reject_unknown_hostname is too 
aggressive.

There large and important farm that don't have their smtp listed in any dns.

So I modified it to have the opportunity to insert a white list for that.

This is my configuration:

smtpd_helo_required = yes
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, 
check_helo_access hash:/kolab/etc/postfix/helo_access,
  reject_invalid_hostname, reject_unknown_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_hostname
