The way I read it, the test had to have some kind of message like that.
Sounds good, thanks a bunch Henrik!

Doesn't matter. Unless there's an "expect FOO" then Hobbit doesn't
expect the service to return any data. What you're after is just like
the "qmtp" check in the default bb-services file:

    [qmtp]
        port 209

Just define your service like that, and you can then configure it in
bb-hosts like all the other standard network tests.


Regards,
Henrik
