Spain's no. 1 Internet provder, Terra, for example.

        Trying 195.235.113.140...
        Connected to mail.terra.es.
        Escape character is '^]'.
        220 ESMTP service ready on
        dfklsajñfs
        500 Command unknown: 'dfklsajñfs'
        quit
        221 tsmtp9.mail.isp ESMTP server closing connection

1. They don't include their hostname in the SMTP greeting.
2. They identify themselves as tsmtpX.mail.isp which I "guess" doesn't
resolve.

Some time ago I attempted to tell them about this, but I don't think
they read the RFCs. After all they're not in Spanish. :-(

My guess this is a common problem, that in non-English speaking
countries some people just don't read, or know about, the RFC
standards. Others can't be bothered to follow them.
