This is the first time I've encountered an SMTP server that sends a 
response back like this.  I've opened a JIRA for this issue:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3427

and I'll take a look at fixing this.  Since I don't have access to an 
SMTP server that behaves this way, are you willing/able to help try out 
potential fixes?
