That is not a consistent response. The first line is a 220 (with a flag
saying it will be a multi-line response). The second is a 521 (without
the flag, hence the last line).
All the lines of the response should have the same code
(RFC 5321 section 4.2.1 last para:
"In a multiline reply, the reply code on each of the lines MUST be the
same."
)
For what it's worth, testing from here gets a two-line response but
with 220 for both.
