In Simple Mail Transfer Protocol terms, it definitely is (EHLO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, then disconnect without sending DATA). But SMTP is not the only mail backend, and smptlib does not expose that level of connection detail - it will merely raise a different exception type if any of those commands do not return 250 status.
