I agree that MAIL should not be permitted when already in a transaction.

: Section 4.1.4 states, "MAIL ... MUST not be sent if a mail transaction is
: already open" which I agree with.  However, the wording in 3.3 and 4.1.12
: do not make this restriction and actually read as if:
: 
: C: MAIL From:<gshapiro@gshapiro.net>
: S: 250 Ok
: C: MAIL From:<gshapiro@sendmail.org>
: S: 250 Ok
: 
: should be allowed an implicit RSET would be done after receiving the second
: MAIL command.
: 
: Hoping that 4.1.4 is correct, this restriction should be mentioned in
: sections 3.3 and 4.1.12.
