I cannot remember if the string was all one single-line response, but if
it was, SMTP mandates a maximum line length.
reply line
The maximum total length of a reply line including the reply code
and the <CRLF> is 512 characters. More information may be
conveyed through multiple-line replies.
An SMTP receiver is therefore perfectly entitled to chop responses after
512 chars.
