This client server handshake must hold

S: 220.*
C: HELO foobar.com
S: 250.*
C: MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
S: 250.*
C: RCPT TO: <postmaster@localhost>
S: 250.*
C: QUIT
S: 221.*

Where C is client data and S  is server resonse. .* is regex pattern.

Recieving mail servers may do this loop back test to validate mail server.
Filters out at least some of the worst spammers.
