Hi, Craig
I enountered problem like this.
My finding is that the older version sendmail on Solaris 2.6 will trigger this issue.
My other recent sendmail servers on Solaris or RH Linux are able to do the proper handshaking with hobbit's smtp polling.
foo-root# uname -r
5.6
foo-root# /usr/lib/sendmail -bt -d0
Version 8.8.8p2+Sun
My solution, wait for it to be retired ;)

Subject: [hobbit] Service SMTP on xxxxxx is not OK : Unexpected service response
I have a smtp server that “randomly” shows this error. Is it possible to capture what the actual response was?
Eg.
Service SMTP on xxxxxx is not OK : Unexpected service response
Response received was:” blah blah”
