Bzzzzzzzt! Try again :-).
I remember when ESMTP support was first added to sendmail, Eric tried
that too. Unfortunately it broke a few broken (M$-based of course!)
MTAs.
I think you'll find that when qmail is used by more sites, that it'll
start "failing" against some MTAs due to it's multi-lined returns to
HELO.
It certainly isn't qmail's fault - but which is easier to alter?
