It's broken. And I reply to this in this forum because after just a week we
actually got a reply from them.
Their MTA needs a RESET (RSET) after the final "." of the first email to
be ready for another email down the same connection. Now looking at RFC 821
I see no need or reason for that and if RESET really flushes all as it is
supposed to it would also chuck out the HELO information. ;)
Again, I saw this problem _only_ with their MTA. Everybody else on the
planet seems to be happy w/o a RESET between multiple emails. Any well
known/versed RFC evangelist in here who can whip up a reply for them?
Or maybe Vadik can do an inside job. ;P
