Sorry for delayed response. You keep dropping me from the recipients so
I don't see your replies.
I suppose you could fall back to the less severe 554 error and disable
the protocol violation warning if the client in question had PIPELINING
advertised and has _ever_ been observed to batch commands, rather than
relying only on evidence of batching for the command you don't like.
That would drastically reduce the (already vanishingly small) number of
false positives, wouldn't it?
