You have a good point. How does Postfix test if the client sends
commands before its turn? It looks if the current command is
followed by another one.

That test always fails with the last RCPT TO command, because the
client waits for all replies before it sends the DATA command.

With "smtpd_delay_reject = yes", the pipelining test will never
trigger for single-recipient mail. That needs to be fixed.
