Ah yes, I need to filter all the data to send using SMTP to make sure of that.
A little similar to how we filter all receiving POP3 data to detect the
end-of-body pattern.

Right, I need to fix both of them. Things are just moving a little slowly
here, but I'll get there eventually!

Other little details:

For the EHLO I'm considering using the 'user' field for the domain so that the
user can decide what to tell the server.

I think I'll use the 'RCPT' data to select test case numbers from, so that the
first unbroken sequece of digits in the receiver address will be used as test
case number.

Thanks for your feedback!
