Dear all,

I wonder if this funny side-effect of rejection after DATA with
hotmail is known. It might be of interest to those using a data acl.

I have implemented a "too many bad recipients" condition that kicks
in when at least 2 bad recipients are rejected (for any reason). It
drops the connection when it is triggered during the RCPT phase
(otherwise the sender might keep on trying other addresses) while it
just sends a 5XX code when triggered at the DATA phase (this is
necessary as the $rcpt_fail_count might increase after the last rcpt).

I have done a test from an hotmail account and while the RCPT acl
gives a normal notification failure, the DATA acl will cause
extraneous data to be included as you can see from the following
(usernames have been obscured):

(I have also tested this with a simple blacklisting of the sender at
the data phase, it still gives garbage but does not so far include
the extraneous RCPT negotiations)
