In 4.30 (smtp_in.c):
| case DATA_CMD:
| if (sender_address == NULL)
| {
| done = synprot_error(L_smtp_protocol_error, 503, NULL,
| US"MAIL command must precede DATA");

^^^^^^^^^^
I take it this is supposed to fix it?
| done = synprot_error(L_smtp_protocol_error, 503, NULL,
| US"valid RCPT command must precede DATA");
| break;
| }
If so, should you not return an error to DATA, but not log a protocol error,
and should this check (or similar) not also be implemented for "MAIL FROM",
as that is valid in the middle of a RFC2920 group.
