Does anyone know of a specification for ESMTP?  All I know about it is that
it starts EHLO rather than HELO.  I can't find anything in the RFC index,
searching under SMTP, mail etc.

Or is it another one of those "look at the server code" things?

Ah, I was being too specific about 'extended' (and the link was too slow
to download everything).  Now I just have to work out which of those is
not obsoleted by everything else (which gives me a reason to implement my
threatened RFC Index parser nad database)...

Thanks,
