I'm curious: Can someone please point out which part of RFC 2821
is violated here?

4.3.1 Sequencing Overview

One important reply is the connection greeting. Normally, a receiver

completed. The sender SHOULD wait for this greeting message before
sending any commands.

This is just a SHOULD not a MUST.
