Hi!

I'm playing around with System.Net.Mail in .Net 2.0 and noticed that it
never sends the QUIT command.

Using a network sniffer I checked and immidiatly after it has received the
confirmation of the mail being accepted, it disconnects.

RFC2821 4.1.1.10 says:
"The sender MUST NOT intentionally close the transmission channel until it
sends a QUIT command and SHOULD wait until it receives the reply (even if
there was an error response to a previous command)."

Is there anyway to make System.Net.Mail RFC 2821 compliant?

Regards,

John
