Yes the server says "220..." because you connect to the correct remote port.
But libcurl seems to think it should do HTTP and that is why it sends the HTTP
request instead of speaking SMTP. That's why I wanted to be sure you really
used SMTP:// first in the url string.

Single-stepping with your debugger through the smtp_connect() function should
make a good start.

Can you provide a full example program that repeats this problem with a recent
libcurl version?
