I have a PIX running 6.3(3) and it has fixup smtp enabled.

When a remote client tries to send an unsupported command, such as  
EHLO, i am seeing
the mailserver drop the connection immediatly.  On the pix the  
following is logged:

pixfirewall# smtp_response: (192.168.1.9/25 -> 207.254.193.98/56062)
smtp_cmd: (192.168.1.9/25 <- 207.254.193.98/56062)
         smtp_cmd: initial cmd = ehlo , enter reply mode
         smtp: nullify <ehlo > command

         rollback next sequence 3280724322 by 31 bytes
         packet: <>

The Mail server software is 4D WebStar (runs on mac osx).  Does anyone  
know of any issues with the pix code
that may be happening here?  This is a PIX501.
