Which states "Based on extensive experience with busy mail-relay hosts, 
the
minimum per-command timeout values SHOULD be as follows:"

The timeouts mentioned previously are much lower than the ones listed int 
eh RFC, but I don't see that as violating it.

Network connections are also many orders of magnitude faster than they 
were in 1989, so adjusting the timeouts lower is probably not 
unreasonable.  Back then, 9.6kb/s was screaming.
