Indeed so. Obviously you don't reject the empty sender immediately after
MAIL FROM:<> ; you can only do it after you've seen the address in the
RCPT TO: and determined that it's an address which never sends mail.

That is in fact what John is doing, and that's why I corrected Steve's
mis-statement of the observed behaviour.
