Summary 0000226: check_smtp ignores arguments starting with first (second) non option
Description check_smtp stops processing arguments on the first non option (or on the second one if hostname is not given with -H or --hostname).

This is not particularly helpful, I'd have expected a usage message and return code STATE_UNKNOWN if optind points to remaining arguments after processing options and possibly trying to take hostname from the remaining arguments.

Instead I received return code STATE_OK after check_smtp checked only the first message from the server and how soon it arrived ignoring the response checks I'd specified later.

In my case I'd been particularly clumsy in defining the services in Nagios but I'm sure this could be triggered by fairly hard to spot mistakes.
Additional Information To reproduce:

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_smtp -H mx.example.com -f nagios@example.com -C rcpt to: no-such-local-part@example.com -R 550 5.1.1 -6

will result in:

SMTP OK - 0,125 sec. response time|time=0,124762s;;;0,000000

and return code 0.

 Apologies for bumping this isssue, but I still haven't seen any message about it on nagiosplug-devel.

 Please encapsulate any arguments containing spaces in parentheses, this should resolve your issue. Ex.:

./check_smtp -H mx.example.com -f nagios@example.com -C "rcpt to: no-such-local-part@example.com" -R 550 -6

 Yes, that is how I got my service to work the way I intended.

This bug is about making check_smtp help me catch such mistakes by flagging them with status unknown instead of ignoring any arguments supplied that it doesn't understand.
