I haven't been watching lately, but at some point a popular bot technique was to send the whole transaction without looking at the responses. After all, what do they care? It was popular enough to generate the "greet_pause" feature in sendmail - as you must know. I don't know whether "greet_pause"-type detection is so wide-spread now that spammers have moved away from doing it, but I'll bet a lot still don't care and just blast away.
