Hrm, i should've checked the code I guess.

It looks like its getting an error response from the EHLO command but
continuing regardless.  And then after its finished, the error is still
there and thats causing later stuff to fail ... (the way exceptions are
implmeneted they're not checked all the time).

The smtp code only sends EHLO if the smtp server states that it supports
ESMTP, which is obviously an extended version for which EHLO should
work. 

Jeff, can we get the code falling back to non-esmtp if EHLO doesn't
work?  And/or just ingoring the 'non fatal' errors, or handling them in
code within the smtp code rather than passing them out to the
application, which really doesn't care ...

As for rfc's, I just ftp'd the whole lot from a local Australian mirror,
but thats a bit of overkill (handy for offline use though)!

try http://rfc.net/

(i searched for 'rfc' in google)
