What do you mean by "execute SMTP"?  Does it interpret and respond to
SMTP response codes to its SMTP commands or just open a TCP connection
and send a largely constant handful of lines of text before the first
header line?  The samples I've captured have pretty rudimentary SMTP
envelopes.

That would be far more impresssive, although given the many resolver
libraries available, nothing to write home about.
