It seems that other machines are having trouble with EHLO on
my host. The only mention EHLO has in the doc is on page 176,
where it's just mentioned in passing.

relay does do HELO/ELHO verify on server side (refuses until HELO given):

time of the above message (vega's timestamp), I have in my smtp log to
your site the following:

Your mailer doesn't support multiple messages in the same SMTP transaction!
If it supports EHLO then is should have this functionality...

You're not using ZMailer anymore I assume? ( Exim is VERY experimental at
this point...)
