gshapiro> Section 4.1.4 states, "MAIL ... MUST not be sent if a mail
gshapiro> transaction is already open" which I agree with.  However, the
gshapiro> wording in 3.3 and 4.1.12 do not make this restriction and
gshapiro> actually read as if:

gshapiro> C: MAIL From:<gshapiro@gshapiro.net>
gshapiro> S: 250 Ok
gshapiro> C: MAIL From:<gshapiro@sendmail.org>
gshapiro> S: 250 Ok

gshapiro> should be allowed an implicit RSET would be done after receiving
gshapiro> the second MAIL command.

gshapiro> Hoping that 4.1.4 is correct, this restriction should be
gshapiro> mentioned in sections 3.3 and 4.1.12.

Note that "4.1.12" should be "4.1.1.2" in the last line of my original
post.
