because there was at least one 250, you were allowed to go to DATA

Is that "were allowed to" or "SHOULD"? If the quest for optimization mentioned
earlier in this thread were taken excessively zealously, an MTA would think it
is a good idea to just QUIT for now, looking forward for the odd moment when
both user1 and user2 will simultaneously get a 250 response.

If the sender is pipelining properly then it's too late to QUIT when it
gets the replies to RCPT, because it has already said DATA.
