When your have a mail server, that is sending his greeting message (220
mail.example.org) in the smtp dialog splitted in two TCP packages, mozilla emits a  
error message: "Send Message Error" "Sending of message failed" "The message
could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server 192.168.192.10. The server
may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP. Please verfy that your SMTP server
settings is correct and try again, or else contact your network administrator. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the perl script (see above URL) with "smallsmtp.pl -p 2" which is a
smtp server dummy, it listens on port 2225 and simulates an smtp server
answering with two packets for 220.
2. Configure the outgoing server in mozilla to be the host the script runs on an
change the port to 2225
3. compose a measage and try to send it.

4. See step 1 but use "smallsmtp.pl -p 1" one packet answer
Actual Results:  
mozilla is not sending the e-mail, for two tcp packet answer but sending it for
the one packet answer

Expected Results:  
send the e-mail, (accept the 220 two packet answer).

We tried the Linux/IRIX version of mozilla and had no problem.
