You receiving from G, doing a verify, would have been a callout
but using a cached previous-fail record. Can't tell if R- or S-verify.

What does your config require, for verifies?

You receiving from G, same conn as above. We claim G did
something wrong...

Now we're just confused, interpreting message header data
as an SMTP command. We're out-of-sync by now.

and we finally recognise that and drop the conn. We recorded
the sequence of SMTP commandss used on the conn; it looks reasonable,
it would be useful to know if this source IP did have a good
message reception immediately before, or not.

If it did, then that reception did use chunking, which implies
we did advertise it - so the later later claim we did not
seems like our bug (exposed by some recent G change).

If it did not... do you think your config *should* be advertising
chunking to G ?

I don't think so. We're looking at receiving from G here, and that
was dealing with sending.

Entirely possible. You imply you've see more than one of these.
How often? Are you in a position to build and use 4.96 (we have
neater debug tooling there)?
