Most irritating was a Cisco between our mail server and the internet that 
removed STARTTLS from our server's SMTP greeting ... .

Back to the OP: If a Cisco terminates the connection, the receiving 
sendmail would log EOM and the transmitting server would get the SMTP code 
from Cisco. Insofar, it could fit.
