RE: [Exim] hiding software type & version

Here is another good banner if you are blacklisting.

Place the banner directly underneath the primary hostname in the Runtime
Configuration.

smtp_banner = "${primary_hostname} Secure SMTP \n\
                 ${tod_full} 2002\n\n\
                This server uses MAPS RBL, MAPS RSS and MAPS DUL to\n \
                filter mail from known spamming hosts/users.\n \
                See http://www.mail-abuse.org/ for more information.\n"

Regards,

Tom

None of the SMTP exploit scanners I have seen lately uses the banner in
the first place they fingerprint in other fashions.


Who recommended hiding this info? From my experience, this
recommendation is one of the
"We-can-always-find-something-to-make-the-customer-think-they-are-more-v
unerable-then-they-are"-things.
