I am presuming this to be the welcome banner for a trojan horse of

about it or what Trojan this might be?

It's issuing a 220 - that's the welcome code for SMTP. >Try sending a HELO or EHLO. If it responds with a 250, >my bet

I'd actually say it's more likely that it's an FTP server, since these are built into many of the latest trojans and 
rootkits.
