I'm running an ancient network monitoring tool called 'spong' and
it's test for a working smtp service is to connect to the
port, send 'quit' and parse what it receives for a '220'.
With qpsmtpd as set up in the SMEserver beta, it is reporting
a failure:

450 Connecting host started transmitting before SMTP greeting

Is there an RFC requirement that the connecting host MUST
wait before sending anything?  Also, in a glance at RFC 821
it did not look like a 450 was valid in the connect phase - it
only mentions 421.  Has this been changed in later RFC's?
