Ideally yes, we'd catch every possible error and handle it inside
tmda-ofmipd.  If we can do that here I'm certainly in support of it.

What I'm saying is simply that in those few cases (such as this one)
where we didn't catch the error in tmda-ofmipd, the lower level
exception being thrown up is in most all cases enough to prevent lost
mail.  Most MUAs will halt in such a case, even if telnet does not.
The only MUA I've seen that doesn't take notice of this is recent
versions of Thunderbird as you're well aware.
