I don't think the server has to do much to support it. About the only
difference for the server is that a single TCP packet may contain
several (incomplete) commands, so
* the parser needs to be a bit more careful (not a problem for qpsmtpd
which reads line by line not packet by packet).
* You can't use something like earlytalker in the middle of a command
group.
