I don't think this is possible.
Not to keep the client socket waiting for "nothing", that's totally possible, of course. If you are learning network programming, you may know a few about TCP/IP protocol stack.
If your client/server application communicate using UDP as transport protocol, excuse me then, it's possible. But if your application communicates using TCP as transport protocol, you're doing nothing keeping the client waiting for data that isn't going to arrive.
TCP uses sequence and acknowledgement numbers, on a server "crash" the application will need to be restarted. at this point, the server will start NEW connections, and forget about the previous ones.
The client application will be sending ack's or data to a connection that is no longer available, and the server will ignore the client. so, you are using UDP, right?

net::smtp::server::relay
Server::Relay(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Server::Relay(3pm)
NAME
Net::SMTP::Server::Relay - A simple relay module for Net::SMTP::Server.
SYNOPSIS
use Carp;
use Net::SMTP::Server;
use Net::SMTP::Server::Client;
use Net::SMTP::Server::Relay;
$server = new Net::SMTP::Server('localhost', 25) ||
croak("Unable to handle client connection: $!
");
while($conn = $server->accept()) {
# We can perform all sorts of checks here for spammers, ACLs,
# and other useful stuff to check on a connection.
# Handle the client's connection and spawn off a new parser.
# This can/should be a fork() or a new thread,
# but for simplicity...
my $client = new Net::SMTP::Server::Client($conn) ||
croak("Unable to handle client connection: $!
");
# Process the client. This command will block until
# the connecting client completes the SMTP transaction.
$client->process || next;
# In this simple server, we're just relaying everything
# to a server. If a real server were implemented, you
# could save email to a file, or perform various other
# actions on it here.
my $relay = new Net::SMTP::Server::Relay($client->{FROM},
$client->{TO},
$client->{MSG});
}
DESCRIPTION
The Net::SMTP::Server::Relay module implements simple SMTP relaying for use with the Net::SMTP::Server module. All this module does is to
take a given message and iterate through the list of recipients, doing DNS lookups for the associated MX record and delivering the
messages. This module makes extensive use of the plethora of other modules already implemented for Perl (specifically the DNS and
Net::SMTP modules in this case), and should give but a glimpse of the potential for extending the Net::SMTP::Server's functionality to
provide a full-featured SMTP server, native to Perl.
The above example illustrates the use of the Net::SMTP::Server::Relay modules -- you simply have to instantiate the module, passing along
the sender, recipients, and message. More formally:
$relay = new Net::SMTP::Server::Relay($from, @to, $msg);
Where $from is the sender, @to is an array containing the list of recipients, and $msg is the message to relay.
