Note this is a hack; many clients don't look at lines with '-', but that is
not necessarily normative behavior.

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