due to this?
(2) SMTP is designed as strictly a synchronized one-command /
one-response protocol. Pipelining and some other extension
ideas that are floating around may permit delaying the responses
or otherwise changing the synchronization, but the model
remains. So, once the server issues a reply (or the last line
of a multiline reply), it needs to get a new command from the
client before it can send out another response code/line.
