About

This appears to result from the server closing the connection immediately upon establishing it:

woozle@SamEagle:~$ telnet hypertwins.org 465
Trying 45.55.148.146...
Connected to hypertwins.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

There might be no perceptible delay between the "Escape character" message and the "Connection closed by foreign nost" message.
