Re: deferred RCPT responses

The first thought that comes to mind is that all of the approaches whack
the state-table pretty good. Whether you are talking about temporary
deferral, post-transfer recipent exchanges, or anything else, the current
state-table management model is shot to heck.

The advantage of a single sucessful recipient first ensures that the
transmission is done for at least one likely recipient.

How crucial is that? It would seem to be easiest to just do:

 C: EHLO foo
 S: 250 DEFERRED-RCPT

 C:  MAIL FROM:<malware> DEFERRED-RCPT
 S:  250

 C:  DATA
 C:  [...]
 S:  350 send recipients

 C:  RCPT TO:<hardass>
 S:  500
 C:  RCPT TO:<sucker>
 S:  250

Enhanced codes would also be useful but that's not important atm.
