Hi Anoop. I'm not even close to an expert, compared to the many
knowledgeable users on this list, so I will defer to them for the real
solution. But my understanding is that you could use this in your config:

smtp_receive_timeout = 60s

Where 60s = 60 seconds.

This would allow a connection to last for 60 seconds, without any commands
taking place (again, that is my understanding)

Hope this helps.
