Ouch :-) To some extent this is a quality of implementation matter. The server has a clear time budget for whatever processing it wants to do, so it ought to have a sensible way of coping with running out of time. If the client plays tricks with its timeout then the MTA doesn't have a clear budget to work to. So I think the idea of adaptive timeouts is misguided.
