RFC2821 Says this: 
_________________ 
The format for multiline replies requires that every line, except the 
   last, begin with the reply code, followed immediately by a hyphen, 
   "-" (also known as minus), followed by text.  The last line will 
   begin with the reply code, followed immediately by <SP>, optionally 
   some text, and <CRLF>.  As noted above, servers SHOULD send the <SP> 
   if subsequent text is not sent, but clients MUST be prepared for it 
   to be omitted. 
 
   For example: 
 
      123-First line 
      123-Second line 
      123-234 text beginning with numbers 
      123 The last line 
 
   In many cases the SMTP client then simply needs to search for a line 
   beginning with the reply code followed by <SP> or <CRLF> and ignore 
   all preceding lines.  In a few cases, there is important data for the 
   client in the reply "text".  The client will be able to identify 
   these cases from the current context.

Others SMTP clients like "MS outlook*, Eudora, The bat..."  work fine in this configuration.
