Sorry, brainfart on my end.
I see a lot of sychronization errors in the logs, which comes from
clients that try pipelining without being allowed to. That, though,
turns out to be because these clients did not issue an EHLO greeting
first.
Edgar, you are right, if a client does proper pipelining, _and_ I
detect a serious problem in the MAIL, RCPT, or DATA commands, they
would be subject to multiple (up to 3) 20s delays before receiving any
response.
As said by Lord Farquad (sp?) in "Shrek": [Some of you may die, but]
that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
