I have also seen this happen when the response is slow from the mail server
to show the 220 message. It does show it but is slow for some reason. I
create a new service called smtp-slow by adding the following and then
configure the bb-hosts entry with 'smtp-slow' instead of smtp. Just a
thought.
This way it doesn't require a 220 response but if it gets a valid
"connection" it is okay. If it can't open a connection, it goes red. It does
limit the amount of app validation but it is the only thing that worked in
my case.

As it happens, there are PIXs between the hobbit server & all the

some cases).
I'll have a chat with our resident Cisco guru & see if he made any
changes at our end around 6th June, when things stopped working.

You wouldn't happen to have a Cisco PIX/ASA between the hobbit host and
the mail server, with it configured to do "fixup"? Those are known for
breaking things ;)
