SMTP Checks Always Critical

[Marc Powell]

As a followup to my previous short email, the problem is that Exchange
expects to see a \r\n after the QUIT but the previous plugin version
only sent a \r (or \n, I can't remember). The net effect was that while
the SMTP service would respond OK, the connection wouldn't terminate
properly leading to the CRITICAL status because of a timeout.
