Yes - a very good point.  We have the ability to 'delay' all pre-DATA 
test actions, so that they are reported for each RCPT (this is for 
whitelisting/reporting purposes); however this is new, so the stats 
quoted were on a site that doesn't use this (this beings it's own 
problem of interpretation issues where one connection trips lots of 
pre-DATA tests).

Stats at the SMTP phase are *much* harder to report and interpret than 
post-queue (especially  when you consider greylisting).

Anyway - I digress, IMO greet-pause is a more reliable indicator than 
strict-helo testing and would recommend everybody to use both ;-)

Cheers,
Steve.
