| Whenever the 'renaissance.co.nz' qmail server tries to deliver mail to

|
| Connected to 202.36.45.1 but my name was rejected./Remote host said: 220

As far as I can tell, this falls into the ``this cannot happen''
category. I contacted the SMTP port on relay.eagle.co.nz myself, it
responds exactly as shown above, with each line CRLF terminated and no
fuzz about it. It looks like qmail-remote has stopped reading the
response after the first line (the one with the hyphen), leaving the
second line to be interpreted as the response to the HELO command.
But, as far as I can read the source in qmail-remote.c (the first few
lines in smtp() and all of smtpcode(), only ~20 lines in all) there is
no way this can happen. So unless this is a patched version of qmail,
I can see no rational explanation for this.
