I think the command is XSENDER (and perhaps others, I think this one is
logically equivalent to SMTP's "MAIL FROM". AFAIK, it's never been in an
RFC or draft. I've never seen a client that used it, but at a large ISP I
used to work at, I saw many "unknown command: XSENDER..." lines in my log.
I believe that clients that send mail via POP3 probe for the validity of the
XSENDER command to determine if the remote host supports the feature (much
as older clients probe for the validity of the LAST command to determine
which revision of POP3 to use).
