SMTP greet_pause

I'm using the greet_pause feature in Sendmail 8.13 to delay giving the smtp
banner by a couple of seconds.  It's a great anti-spam tool.

Unfortunately, it's confusing hobbit:

Service smtp on tolstoy.denmantire.com is not OK : Unexpected service
response


554 denmantire.com ESMTP not accepting messages
550 5.0.0 Command rejected
221 2.0.0 denmantire.com closing connection

If hobbit had waited 2000 milliseconds after the connection before trying to
send, it would have worked just fine.  Is there any way to insert a small
delay there?
