Work also on 4.2(1),
It's normal that you'll receive an error like this, but after you can
inject any command you wish without having them filtered.

This is a session on a customer's 4.2(1) pix .

I test my (old) pix box running 4.2(1) and it is not exploitable.
When I try to not complete my smtp session, issuing a "data" command before
rcpt, I receive a
503 Need RCPT (recipient)
message.
I test other permutation of helo, mail, rcpt, data command but all fails.

How to escape "fixup smtp" of  Cisco Pix Firewall:

The Cisco Pix Firewall normally restrict some protocol
command(http,ftp,smtp) and manage
multisession protocol(h323, ftp,sqlnet) .
I made some test on a BSDI3.0 running sendmail9 placed in the dmz .
The Pix version it's the latest, 5.2(1)... here the output of "show ver"
