Testing Mail SMTP error code question

[strongwallet]

[Bounce Handling]
Is enabled?  Yes, Using bounce.cgi
Sending TESTBOUNCE email to bounce address.. Success!

If you receive an email at your "Administrator Email Address" bounce.cgi is configured correctly.

[SMTP Server]
Is enabled?  Yes
Connecting to SMTP server.. Connected!
Could not say EHLO.

The SMTP server is not configured correctly. Check your settings.

Can you explain what may be causing this error?

Thanks in advance (newbie here, sorry)

Hmm, "EHLO" is a standard SMTP greeting.  Perhaps your host is running a very old version of software or you are not connecting to the correct mail host.
