While I'm not a big fan of security by obscurity, if people feel they need
to obscure their SMTP banner, they should have to do it themselves. As
others mentionnned, when debugging SMTP connections, I like to know which
remote server I'm talking to, so I'd vote for:
smtp_banner = Exim 4 ESMTP server ready
Note that I'm only asking for '4', not the exact release number.
Ideally, having the hostname in there would be better:
smtp_banner = $primary_hostname: Exim 4 ESMTP server ready
I could live with you removing ESMTP if you wish to (can't say how much it
is used nowadays, but again, I'm from the "extra information can't hurt"
school)
