That seems unlikely, since the server responds with an error to both the
RCPT TO and DATA commands.

If you think that's the problem, there are several things you can do to
demonstrate that. First, you can telnet to the server and issue the
exact commands that Courier does and see if you get the same responses.
You should make sure that you're sending CRLF, which isn't the default.
You'll need to use the escape character (Ctrl+]) and then type "toggle
crlf". When you hit enter, telnet will confirm the change and return
immediately to the session.

secureserver.net doesn't accept connections from me, and probably not
from anyone else on this list, so you need to do the debugging yourself.

You also never demonstrated to us that courier continued to use
pipelining after you disabled it in the source code.

You only need to comment out:
if (strcmp(hellobuf, "PIPELINING") == 0)
haspipelining=1;

postfix also supports pipelining, AFAIK. Have you checked to see what's
different in the sessions?
