This is a problem with sendmail due to the lack of resetting when ONEX has
been given.  Vanilla sendmail forks and runs in the child after receiving
the MAIL command.  A RSET causes the child to exit and with it all the
old state information fades away.  The ONEX command prevents the fork()
and so RSET becomes a no-op.  The fix is to add some code to srvrsmtp.c
to handle RSET after ONEX.  Here's a rough code fragment:

		  case CMDRSET:		/* rset -- reset state */
			message("250", "Reset state");
			if (OneXact)
			{
				hasmail = FALSE;
				dropenvelope(CurEnv);
				CurEnv = newenvelope(CurEnv);
				CurEnv->e_flags = BlankEnvelope.e_flags;
			}
			if (InChild)
				finis();
			break;
