Section 4.1.4 says: 

   MAIL (or SEND, SOML, or SAML) MUST NOT be
   sent if a mail transaction is already open, i.e., it should be sent
   only if no mail transaction had been started in the session, or it
   the previous one successfully concluded with a successful DATA  ^^ 
   command, or if the previous one was aborted with a RSET.
