The 220 IMHO cannot be followed by anything. Quoting RFC 821:

***************************************
4.2.1.  REPLY CODES BY FUNCTION GROUPS

[cut]

         220 <domain> Service ready
***************************************

And:

***************************************
  Note: all the greeting type replies have the official name of
         the server host as the first word following the reply code.
***************************************

I'm not sure if milter-sender is very strict about it, I will have to check the source code (which I will do later).
