Works fine for me, your getting an error because your trying to send a
command before receiving the first 220, aka RFC violation. As long as
you connect, wait a moment without trying to send a command, your fine.
telnet 219.90.94.56 25

My systems do it too if you try to send a command before waiting for the
220s to finish:
telnet mail.sosdg.org 25
Trying 2620:64:0:1::2...

Its an effective antispam method, because bots rarely bother to wait.
They just blast away
