Thank you, you are correct. I now see what the client should
be looking for.
I thought the hyphen was *also* arbitrary text, but
it's actually the spacer.

    Normally, the response to EHLO will be a multiline reply. Each line
    of the response contains a keyword and, optionally, one or more
    parameters. Following the normal syntax for multiline replies, these
    keyworks follow the code (250) and a hyphen for all but the last
    line, and the code and a space for the last line.
