Here's my take: Ever met an MTA/MUA that _changed_ it's HELO name
mid-stride when you refused the first one? I didn't think so.
My copy uses DENY_DISCONNECT :)
You made the choice to be non-RFC compliant; I don't think that is
necessarily appropriate for the project as a whole. Technically
speaking, the client (remote MTA) is expected to send QUIT when it
receives a 5xx message and the server (local MTA) is not permitted to
just drop the connection.
On the other hand, if we play by the rules (don't use DENY_DISCONNECT
immediately) and the other guy doesn't (because it is zombie) then we
can be justified in sending 110kV through the network port of the remote
server (or just dropping the connection).
