I've heard some people say that reproducing totally compliant SMTP behavior
on those boxes on demand is apocryphal as well.  :)

(I have to admit I haven't actually tracked a user complaint down to a
misbehaving PIX in a year or two, but I can't say if the software has gotten
better or if its market share is just small enough to fly under my radar - the
type of people who send e-mail from behind a PIX don't interact with my users
all that often)
