The server *may* be able to influence the client by including SMTP rather
than ESMTP in the initial banner response to the connection.
See the main configuration setting
smtp_banner
It's expanded...experiment will show whether the sending IP address is
available at the moment of the expansion for building a conditional
banner...I suspect it is.
If you (Steve or Chris...I'm not sure the attributions are complete above)
get that working, then you'll quickly learn whether the appliance in
question cares.
I don't know whether this experiment or the work with the ACL is more likely
to be productive.
