-Early pipelining support
-------------------------
-Ref: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-harris-early-pipe/

-If compiled with EXPERIMENTAL_PIPE_CONNECT support is included for this feature.
-The server advertises the feature in its EHLO response, currently using the name
-"X_PIPE_CONNECT" (this will change, some time in the future).
-A client may cache this information, along with the rest of the EHLO response,
-and use it for later connections.  Those later ones can send esmtp commands before
-a banner is received.
-
-Up to 1.5 roundtrip times can be taken out of cleartext connections, 2.5 on
-STARTTLS connections.
-
-In combination with the traditional PIPELINING feature the following example
-sequences are possible (among others):

-
-A main-section option "pipelining_connect_advertise_hosts" (default: *)
-and an smtp transport option "hosts_pipe_connect" (default: unset)
-control the feature.
-
-If the "pipelining" log_selector is enabled, the "L" field in server <=
-log lines has a period appended if the feature was advertised but not used;
-or has an asterisk appended if the feature was used.  In client => lines
-the "L" field has an asterisk appended if the feature was used.
-
-The "retry_data_expire" option controls cache invalidation.
-Entries are also rewritten (or cleared) if the adverised features
-change.
-
-
-NOTE: since the EHLO command must be constructed before the connection is
-made it cannot depend on the interface IP address that will be used.
-Transport configurations should be checked for this.  An example avoidance:
-
- helo_data =	${if def:sending_ip_address \
-		   {${lookup dnsdb{>! ptr=$sending_ip_address} \
-			{${sg{$value} {^([^!]*).*\$} {\$1}}} fail}} \
