plugin ID 10247 False positives

Subject: plugin ID 10247 False positives
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:59:27 -0600
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?
