Friendly XO Mail-operational contact ?

suresh at frodo 04:39:42 <~> $ telnet dalsmlprd08.dal.dc.xo.com. smtp
Trying 207.88.96.46...
Connected to dalsmlprd08.dal.dc.xo.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

And that box is in Sherman Oaks CA.

You sure XO hasn't been playing with banner delays, and your MTA is
