Both FTP and SMTP start with 220 from server (followed by either space or hyphen)

For SMTP, it is then supposed to be a valid domain name.
But there is no restriction for FTP

There can be (E)SMTP or FTP in the banner...

We can use the ports.

And we can maybe mark this detection as weak, so that client side detection overrides it...
