If you get the

220 SMTP

back, that means that the mailserver on the other side is running.

Remember, this was the "old" error:

Address=195.86.128.62:25, open=1, res=0, err=0, 
connecttime=0.002863,
totaltime=1.153169, banner='501 Syntax error in parameters or

Most likely, it complains because Hobbit fires off SMTP commands before
waiting for the SMTP server's greeting. Technically, this is in
violation of the SMTP protocol, and some newer servers complain about
this.

Try removing the "send" part from the [smtp] section in
~hobbit/server/etc/bb-services

That's working.  But isn't that the same as just a port check ?
