I seem to be getting some random alarms generated from this plugin. When running a pentest verifying the plugins actions against the server 'debug' and 'wiz' is not enabled. What seems to be the issue is at times the banner message can take some time to be sent so if the plugin is sending the command prior to this the first response that is seen is "220 server.name ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.4/8.13.4.". the response matches ^2[0-9][0-9][ \t]' (from the plugin) so its assumed debug is enabled. Can there be a delay added to the plugins, or how can I avoid this false positive?
