Yeah, that's kind of my point, eh?  bugtraq bid 1 is not an exploit in RCPT,

This rule looks for "RCPT TO: ;"

The reference to cve,1999-0095 regards sendmail having the "debug"
command enabled. Ditto for the bugtraq,1 reference.  And arachnids has
been dead for at least 5 years.

Anybody know why this rule exists?  What is the exploitation of RCPT TO ?
