5.3.1.2 Receiving strategy
The receiver-SMTP SHOULD attempt to keep a pending listen on
the SMTP port at all times. This will require the support
of multiple incoming TCP connections for SMTP. Some limit
MAY be imposed.
- IMPLEMENTATION:
When the receiver-SMTP receives mail from a particular
host address, it could notify the sender-SMTP to retry
any mail pending for that host address.
