In the beginning there is a tap on a socket listening on port 25, followed
by a 220 ready, a HELO, and then if all goes well there is a 250 ok.  

After that there cometh a mighty MAIL FROM: which is acknowledged by the
great 250 ok.  

Then comest the good (and relevant) part to your question... yea, it is the
RCPT TO: followed by in your case, [email-masked] and yet
another 250 ok...  

There may well be others but finally there is DATA, a 354 start, actual
message terminated with a <CR>.<CR> sequence... all followed up with a 250 ok.

All things being equal there follows a QUIT and a 221 socket close request...

Voila, zimple!

Never mind... Just keep smiling.
