We are getting yellow alerts for all SMTP tests in Xymon.  The error
given is “Service smtp on hostname is not OK : Unexpected service
response”.  This is a new installation and all of the SMTP servers have
been yellow since Xymon was started. Telnet into the server gives the
response:  “220 sv62.r1.fs.fed.us ESMTP Service  ready at Mon, 24 Mar
2014 12:23:42 -0600”.  The hosts file is from Big Brother.  All SMTP
tests are SMTP.S.  We tried commenting out any line in the [SMTP]
section that starts with “Send”, but that didn’t change anything.  There
is nothing recent in the archives about this.  Any suggestions?
Which SMTP server software are you using?

The SMTP network test in Xymon 4 doesn't really adhere to the SMTP 
protocol specs, but it has worked for all of the server-types I know.
