Sort of. It responds with a 250 to all these commands; helo, ehlo, mail,
rset, noop; but with either 451 or 553 to anything else depending on
whether you want a soft or hard failure. That's the best way to keep all
MTAs happy, as some only understand failure after the rcpt to command. The
quit/timeout behaviour is as you describe.
  Cheers.
