Except, as in this case, when the would-be sender tries an unsupported 
command, e.g. AUTH. It's really not feasible to postpone rejection in 
those cases.


+1
I've changed "smtp_delay_reject" directive to "no", because there are too
many connections with this approach.
All of them are attacks, and I don't want lose time or resources waiting to
give an error in the following phase.

I want to reject with this error.

Thank you so much
