Note: this session was typed in leisurly from telnet. I'm expecting the banner to be sent before it acknowledges the HELO. The banner is sent after the message is accepted. This part: 250 Queued! 220 220 mx ESMTP <custom banner here>; I also thought piplining can't start until after these messages go back and forth: banner,ehlo,250 PIPELINING,<begin pipelining> so this is not the behavior I would expect. Can any experts provide some insight? Cheers, ds
