Subject: [Exim] Too many unrecognized commands
I am assuming here, that this is protecting me from an attempt to
subvert my MTA... If so... great!

I just want to make sure that I am not rejecting a valid connection
though if I look at the list that has the entries in it, bit really
don't think that is so..

Below are log entries that have the line:

    dropped: too many unrecognized commands


at the end...

I get the impression they are bogus simply by looking at the names listed...

Is my assumption correct?

I read in a message on the archives by Phillip regarding the use of
bsmpt that this might be so, but I'm not using that mode.
