LOL. So far for this "feature" in 821, and the 2821 text is:

If you want to add keepalives, write an ESMTP service
extension.
It's good enough to know that 1yz doesn't exist in "unextended
SMTP", and that didn't change in 2821bis -00. Maybe the 123-
example in this section should be changed to 220- (before the
123 triggers more obscure ideas).
