I've also seen multi-line greetings from various servers for

I think the trend to use multi-line greeting was begun as an
anti-zombie tactic, and the valid clients were quickly fixed.
Unless someone wants to argue this the other way, I consider
this item to be closed. The text has been changed in the
working draft.
I'm confused. Please correct me.
Are you saying that you have included a statement in the new
text that suggest implementations intentionally use MULTI-LINE
welcomes in order to trap bad guys?
No. I am saying only that I have changed the _syntax_ for the
220 greeting to permit a multiline greeting, something that 2821
formally did not permit.
The draft makes no comment at all about why would would want to
generate such a greeting (or not).
