confuse 220-zombies.

well i'm confuse, so does that make me a zombies?

I´m having trouble on how to deal with different servers, I´m worried if I ignore a second or third 220
for this particular machine.

Would It gave me problems with other servers?

In the message the programmer didn´t leave a email so I could contact him with my suggestions.

In my receiving parts of the smtp all greetings are examen for correct IDs, spammers normally fake IDs,-mx-ip

Suggestions would be welcome

220-The remainder of this message is to confuse
220-zombies. Are you a zombie? If you are, we
220-really don't want to talk to you. You're mean.

220-A zombie is a machine that has been taken over by
220-a spammer for the purpose of transmitting more spam.
220-
220-OTOH, if you are not a zombie, then welcome,
220-but still, please, NO SPAM.
220-
220-If you are not a zombie, and you still break here,
220-then you are broken and your programmer should
220-read RFC2821 then repair you. This is a very
220-basic programming error, so kindly stay off the
220-internet until you are repaired.
220-
220-Still here?
220-Okay then, say hello to start a conversation.
220-Just remember, no spam is allowed.
220-If you send us spam, you are trespassing.

from RFC2821

3.3 Mail Transactions

There are three steps to SMTP mail transactions. The transaction
starts with a MAIL command which gives the sender identification.
(In general, the MAIL command may be sent only when no mail
transaction is in progress; see section 4.1.4.) A series of one or
more RCPT commands follows giving the receiver information. Then a
DATA command initiates transfer of the mail data and is terminated by
the "end of mail" data indicator, which also confirms the
transaction.

You're very welcome.

I am a little confused though. Are you trying to install software to interact with your mail server. Does the software have a name. I understand you are not able to contact the author.

Setting up an email server can be a nightmare.

Should you not have send "MAIL" before "RCPT TO"?
