Yes. Read the documentation.
>From the Exim Specification:
| smtp_banner *option*
| --------------------
|
| Option: smtp_banner
| Type: string
| Default: "see below"
|
| This string, which is expanded every time it is used, is output as the
| initial positive response to an SMTP connection. The default setting is:
|
| smtp_banner = "${primary_hostname} ESMTP Exim ${version_number} \
| #${compile_number} ${tod_full}"
|
| Failure to expand the string causes a panic error. If you want to
| create a multiline response to the initial SMTP connection, use `\n' in
| the string at appropriate points, but not at the end. Note that the
| 220 code is not included in this string. Exim adds it automatically
| (several times in the case of a multiline response).
Quoted section may wrap poorly for your MUA.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
