I had the same experience.  Fortunately, the 421 bit is a lie.

I run MMDF, and I just changed a piece of code that went something
like this

	if (retn != 220)
		exit;
to
	if (retn != 220 && retn != 421)
		exit;

Research does one other thing strangely right now.  After the closing
'<CR>.<CR>' to indicate the end of a message, it waits for an unusually
long period of time before replying "221 All Is Well" or whatever.
I jacked up the timeout period to six minutes after observing delays
as long as 4:30.
