If it's a synchronization error, you can do this:
Write an acl_smtp_connect ACL. In this acl, check for your hosts and
then use control = no_enforce_sync. This assumes you are running at
least release 4.43.
For other protocol errors, you are stuck.

You'd think that anybody writing a check to see if an SMTP server was
alive could get the protocol right. It's easy enough. Connect, wait for
banner output, send QUIT, disconnect.
