It occurs to me that there is a check in case RCPT_CMD that is wrong for
the same reasons as the former one...:
| case RCPT_CMD:
| rcpt_count++;
|
| if (sender_address == NULL)
| {
| done = synprot_error(L_smtp_protocol_error, 503, NULL,
| US"sender not yet given");
| rcpt_fail_count++;
| break;
| }
Surely that shouldn't be a protocol error either?
