Yes, if you wish to send more than one message in a given SMTP session, you
would issue a RSET after sending one message and before sending the next.
RSET causes the server to reset the state of the session.

As I understand it, you can't necessarily know what state the server is in
when you first connect, so you issue a RSET immediately following the
HELO/EHLO in order to make sure that it has been reset.
