Ah, I missed that it required the 8BITMIME extension to be advertised for it to be allowed. It really was far too quick a look. None of my servers have accept_8bitmime enabled. I was already pretty sure that all the connections attempting this were broken spamware/bots. I can lump all these ips into a class now.
