Hi,

 |I think I discovered a "Bug", or better: a protocol violation, when
 |using delegate as a SMTP-to-SMTP gateway.
 |
 |The outgoing SMTP data stream appends the delegate version to the
 |HELO command, which seems not to be valid. For example, after connect-
 |ing to a mail relay, SMTP-delegate greets with:
 |
 |  HELO my.host.name SMTP-DeleGate/7.5.3

Adding DeleGate's version was a trial to inform the client side
software to help shooting delivery trouble ...
At that time I did not know a SMTP implementation which cause a
troble with the extra argument in HELO command.

 |and receives the error
 |
 |  500 Multiple parameters to HELO not allowed
 |
 |This was checked and confirmed for the largest german internet
 |provider, T-online.

Thank you for your helpful information.  I'll remove the version
information.

 |Making appropriate changes on src/smtp.c fixed
 |the problem.
 |Please verify that you are still with RFC1123, Section 5.2.5.
 |Attached to this mail find my smtp.c i used to fix the problem.

To make it complete, also generated EHLO must be modified like so,
as the enclosed patch does.

Cheers,
Yutaka
