Dear Takeshi Terada

Thanks for sharing your paper. I'd like to draw your attention to the following:

Injection into RCPT is mentioned in
https://www.insomniasec.com/downloads/publications/Common_Application_Flaws.ppt
(see slides 15-16) released November 2008 (see
https://www.insomniasec.com/releases).

The general concept of injecting into SMTP commands (in this case,
into the DATA command, terminating the DATA command and escaping into
SMTP scope using a single-dot line, and composing a second, new
message using additional SMTP commands) is discussed e.g. here:
http://www.webappsec.org/projects/articles/121106.pdf (see section
3.2), released November 2006.

Best,
-Amit
