For Matthias Wimmer:
Your mail system is broken. See attached bounce.
I sent you that mail through pobox.com's mail servers, authenticated using
SMTP AUTH; here's my exim log entry.

And you still rejected it due to SPF policy; you rejected it with a
temporary error too, which means I didn't get the bounce for days
afterwards.
It's this kind of nonsense which doesn't do the SPF brigade's cause any
good. If you send a mail which says From: x@y, then it's darned impolite (to
say the least) if you don't accept incoming mail to x@y.

Interesting, the server advertises that it is running "Exim 4.51" - newer
than anything I can find as
ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk :-)
Your tcpdump doesn't include the end of the sessions. Does Courier initiate
the disconnection? Does Exim initiate it? If Exim, does it send a response
first?
Attached to this mail is a little test ruby script which simulates your
problem, and the tcpdump output it generates. I can happily connect to their
server with the same pipelined sequence as you used (session from port 47057
in your freenet.dump file), and it works just fine. So I can only imagine
that (a) it was a temporary problem, or (b) there is something to do with
your IP address that they don't like - e.g. timeout doing reverse DNS, found
you in a blacklist, or something like that.
What happens if you telnet to port 25 on them from your own mailserver, and
issue the sequence of commands manually? It might be nothing to do with
pipelining at all.
Regards,
Brian.
