The original test was the same as the BB way of testing. That is
not to say it was "right", just to explain where I grabbed it from.

Techically, the original test - which just sends "mail" and then
"quit" - is improper; the "mail" command requires arguments, e.g.
   mail from: <some.email at address.net>
so it isn't too surprising that some servers complain about it.

I'm tempted to change it to

  [smtp]
    send "rset\r\nquit\r\n"
    expect "220"
    options banner
    port 25

and would like to hear if that also works with your setup. I think
the reason for the "mail" command first was to please sendmail, 
which has a habit of logging connections that dont send a "mail"
command (it generated a "NOQUEUE" entry in the log, but I dont know
if it still does that).
