I was looking for something in the maillog and found this:

Mar 23 03:47:48 conductor qmail: 859106868.539609 delivery 283464:
success:
206.222.80.7_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_Whew!_Done!
_Was_it_as_good_for_you_as_it_was_for_me?/

Intrigued, I went and checked the site; here's a trace:

220 mail.compmore.net SMTP ready, Who are you gonna pretend to be today?
hello conductor.synapse.net
250 mailr.compmore.net Is thrilled beyond bladder control to meet
conductor.synapse.net
mail from:<evanc@synapse.net>
250 sender is <evanc@synapse.net>, (yeah sure, it's probably forged)
rcpt to:<evanc@synapse.net>
250 recipient <evanc@synapse.net>, I know them! they'll just *LOVE* to
hear from you!
data
354 OK, fire away. End with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Subject: test

Test
.
250 Whew! Done! Was it as good for you as it was for
me?
help
500 Bloody Amateur! Proper forging of mail requires recognizable SMTP
commands!
quit
221 It's been real.  Take off Eh!
