Ah, very helpful. You've obliterated the server name, so we can't actually
do any testing or diagnosis. If you want help from the list, please don't
obscure information like this -- I would have been able to give you a
definite answer, by checking myself, if you had not done this.

Actually, it looks like you're only sending <LF>.<LF> . I could have verified
this with the server name by checking myself.

Maybe FTGate silently accepts <LF>.<LF> . Who knows?
Give us the real server name. Normal qmail-smtpd will not behave the way
you have shown here if presented a valid SMTP conversation.
