This doesn't deal with the case where the data never stops.
In all the years I've been running mail servers, I don't ever recall
seeing a sender that never stopped. How often have you seen one?
Once. A windows box in the UAE, if I remember correctly. It connected,
sent MAIL FROM and RCP TO, got a 50x, disconnected, and tried again
five minutes later. When I noticed it, it had been doing so for as long
as I had logs, probably 99 weeks.
On one hand, it was extremely irritating once I was aware of it. On the
other, I didn't exactly notice it at once ;)
