Jason Killen <jsnk...@gmail.com> added the comment: Ok I think this quote from the spec referenced pretty much sums it up.
"The NOOP, HELP, EXPN, VRFY, and RSET commands can be used at any time during a session, or without previously initializing a session. SMTP servers SHOULD process these normally (that is, not return a 503 code) even if no EHLO command has yet been received; clients SHOULD open a session with EHLO before sending these commands." All in all either way fits the spec, choose your favorite. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24971/test_smtpd.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14269> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
