I just quit with sendmail and installed exim instaed. The reason were
problems when sending mail from my private net to my isp's smtp-server. Now, after
messing some time with those problems I found out the following:
When I try to send mail to the mail relay I get the errormessage
---
Malformed SMTP response from smtp.kielnet.net [194.163.254.14] after EHLO
ppp356.kielnet.net: \002\025\034\210.kielnet.net250-mail.kielnet.net

When I telnet to port 25 of the mailserver, a typical session looks like
this (...look at the line after the "ehlo" command):
---

214-This SMTP server is a part of the Netscape Mail Server system. For
214-information about the Netscape Mail Server, please see
http://www.netscape.com

Could this behavior of the server be the reason for my inability of sending
mail and is there a way to make exim ignore this malformed response?
Your help is warmly welcome...
