 The community behind the James server is currently not supporting fast-failing (or at most minimal support).  Fast-failing means that when someone connects to your SMTP server, you reject the connection, sender, or email during the SMTP session rather than accept it first and reject it later.
 
-Many people request this feature, so I'm writing up why we have decided against it.    Note that I am presenting my personal (Serge Knystautas) view that is not necessarily shared 100% by the community.  However, I present my complete biased philosophy so you can hear the argument in lieu of trying to explain the pragmatic, moderate stance of the community that is a balance of many voices.
+Many people request this feature, so I'm writing up why we have decided against it.    Note that I am presenting my personal (Serge Knystautas) view that is not necessarily shared 100% by the community (and, in fact, there is a proposal that will allow much more robust fast-fail in future versions of James).  However, I present my complete biased philosophy so you can hear the argument in lieu of trying to explain the pragmatic, moderate stance of the community that is a balance of many voices.
