Hm well, there is a notion on such things with SMTP
authentication, IR (immediate response) for example.
The above however .. i have to look around to give an answer,
i have not looked in these RFCs for a long time.
My gut says the above is not right, especially with the repeated
status.  Normally server uses 334-TEXT but for the last line,
which then would be "334 TEXT", _if_ splitting _this_ very
response is allowed.  But two times "334 TEXT" is definetely
wrong.

Ok, but what I'm seeing comes from s-nail's verbose mode, not directly from the server, so perhaps it's s-nail leaving out the '-' ?

May i ask what software this is?

If I telnet to the (successful) server, it responds with
Sendmail 8.14.7/8.14.7.  The problem server says Sendmail 8.15.2.
