What is assp doing?
ASSP analyzes the SMTP command handshake (sequence of command and reply) 
of the client and server. 
Every client and server has to follow the SMTP RFC's.

An valid SMTP session start looks as follows:

1. client connects to the server over TCP
2. server sends '220 welcome or any other text'
it is also possible to send more than one line in the server greeting - 
for example:
220-welcome to me
220-please follow the RFC
220 mail server is now ready

notice the '220-' and '220 ' - every client has to wait until he receives 
the line '220 ' (without the '-')

If the client sends any command (the first has to be HELO or EHLO) before 
he received the '220 ....' greeting, this is a misbehave in SMTP and this 
is penalized by assp.
Currently all sessions with this misbehave are dropped immediatly.

My idea was, to allow such a misbehave for all outgoing mails and 
'accepAllMail' IP's - but I'm not sure if this idea is a good one. Because 
if a local PC gets highjacked by a bot - this check could help to ban it.

I'll revert my currently done code changes. ASSP should not allow any SMTP 
misbehave - how ever, this check could be disabled in the next release by 
setting 'etValencePB' to zero.

Version 2





Thanks Thomas

What I don't understand is this is Thunderbird 7.0.1 we are talking 
about not some unknown mail client.  Surely its unlikely that the client 
is the problem is it???

My friend is using Thunderbird (although I don't know what version at 
this stage) and he doesn't appear to have this problem with ASSP Version 
2 which is why I question is it something to do with my setup.

Thanks

Paul
