<div>I have also seen this happen when the response is slow from the mail server to show the 220 message. It does show it but is slow for some reason. I create a new service called smtp-slow by adding the following and then configure the bb-hosts entry with 'smtp-slow' instead of smtp. Just a thought.</div>

<div>This way it doesn't require a 220 response but if it gets a valid "connection" it is okay. If it can't open a connection, it goes red. It does limit the amount of app validation but it is the only thing that worked in my case.</div>
