Hi ! Monit can't monitor correctly a mail server which sends multi-line banners.
For example: Connected to glorfindel. Escape character is '^]'. 220-InterScan Version 3.81-Build_1022 $Date: 12/19/2003 17:51:0017$: Ready 220 -All ESMTP mail transactions are being logged QUIT 221 glorfindel closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. Monit does not catch correctly the last status (normally 221). The way I read RFC 821 suggests that multi-line "greeting" reply banners are explicitly allowed (p. 4.2 SMTP REPLIES). However, the 4.2 SMTP Replies section shows us a more restrictive ABNF grammar description. In practice, all smtp clients accept mulit-line "greeting" reply banners. Monit should do the same, I think. I Hope it can help you to progress Monit.
