    I blame it all on the fine beer here in Dublin, Ireland...

    Nowadays I suspect there are so many goofy SMTP clients it would
    be impossible to make such a narrow definition work. I just checked
    Postcast - what I am using on my laptop - and it likes to RSET a lot.
    But, unlike the IETF folks, I believe that something shouldn't be in
    a standard if it's not used by the preponderance of apps. Vis X.400
    addressing. ;) If every firewall had choked on it, we'd have gotten
    rid of it a whole lot faster!!! (fwtk-1 firewalls used to see the '/' in the
    address and rewrite it since '/' was a path delimiter, thereby "fixing"
    the X.400 address) Remember - those who tolerate overcomplex
    protocols are doomed to support them eternally. ;)
