A server cannot send and RSET command, as commands are by definition only sent by the client. If a server were to send "RSET" CRLF, the client would need to try to interpret this an an response to the last sent command. But as it is NOT starting with a code number, it will fail. The sequence "RSET" CRLF may however even legally be sent by an smtp server, for example as part of something like: "250 accepted. id=SOMENICEISFORUSERSET" CRLF Notice however that this is no command, as commands are ONLY sent by the client at the beginning of a line (and outside a message body).
