Moreover, snapshot 20140219 does not change anything: the test that I added is a NOOP. Thus, the 20140219 SMTP client behaves the same way as the 20140209 client. Meanwhile I have found how to fix the old bug that I mentioned above. With future releases, the SMTP client won't throttle down the destination when the last MX host hangs up after sending a 4XX or 5XX reply to "MAIL FROM". Instead the SMTP client will handle this in the same way as when the server did not hang up. Wietse
