Whilst developing my SMTP server, I finally tested it on the punts (after
checking no important mail was waiting for me!).  Now, there were two
messages on one of them, and these seemed to be sent in one session.

Now,  I had planned for this, but my program did not reset its MAIL FROM and
RCPT TO buffers after a piece of mail was sent; I had expected (perhaps by
misreading the RFCs) that the Clients would have sent a RSET.

Answay, my server responded with a couple of error messages to both the new
MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands from the punt.  After the RCPT error, the
punt sent RSET, then QUIT.

Now here's the catch: I fingered post soon after, and the second piece of
mail had disappeared.  Now, am I right in saying that *shouldn't* happen?
Surely the punt should only delete mail after a `250 submitted and queued'
type response?

Or will I find that the mail reappears on the finger when I log on in 5 mins
to send this, as the finger server is slightly out of sync? (a guess) :)
