The "150-" was required, so test #2 was successful:

    S: 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
    S: 150-Please Wait
    S: 250 Message accepted for delivery. (bytes: 2573)
    C: QUIT

Outlook accepted the "150-" without any error and waited for the 250
response.

A 250- should have worked as well.


That was my first natural thought and trial.  Just like in FTP.

The client in this case, didn't like that.

Personally, I think this is better this way because you don't know what the
eventual response code might be.

This is the problem with the FTP continuation codes.   If I recall, the
first
continuation code provided must be the same across all remaining responses
and the
final response code.  It doesn't have a "150" like concept.
