RFC2920 states in section "3.2. Server support of pipelining" :
(2) SHOULD elect to store responses to grouped RSET, MAIL FROM,
SEND FROM, SOML FROM, SAML FROM, and RCPT TO commands in an
internal buffer so they can sent as a unit.
It's only a "should" rather than a "must", but doing the auto-flush kind
of goes against this.
