Subject: [exim] hotmail RSET refusal
Hello,

For informational purposes:
I have set up an ACL like this:
deny
dnslists = +exclude_unknown : bl.spamcop.net : dnsbl.tqmcube.com
!verify = sender/callout=60s,postmaster

It appears that some hotmail servers are blacklisted in tqmcube, so the callout
proceeds to the verification of sender and postmaster. But I get a 554 error for
the RSET command. I guess the RSET is issued between both checks.

(sorry for obfuscation)

I know RFC2821 mandates that:
"The receiver MUST send a "250 OK" reply to a RSET command with no arguments"
And also
"The following commands MUST be
supported to conform to this specification:

      EHLO
      HELO
      MAIL
      RCPT
      DATA
      RSET
      NOOP
      QUIT
      VRFY
"
