thx a lot
thx! that will help me a lot!
just one question again, can i change the banner, that nobody can see the domainname?
because, when i use iis5 and i don't have a default web, then its realy tricky to finde out what sites are running on that server. is that possible to change that, probably its hardcoded?

I would also like a way to make a custom banner since we use a non-branded service and would like to hide the host from our resellers customers.
Anyone change the banner yet?.
Good question. Apparently not, but leaving Local Domain Name blank resulted in stalled mail to yahoo, compuserve, and other addressees. Restoring the registry entry immediately corrected the problem.

We've put a replacement SMTP service up on the link below. If you needed to change the welcome message you can use this (it is a feature of a future version). The usual beta disclaimers come with it, but I wouldn't expect any problems. Do not use this file if you are not running version 1.6 - we have not tested it with previous versions. The zip file has a registry file that enables the custom welcome message. It allows a couple of variables to be inserted, such as time and the local domain. These are added by using %LOCALDOMAIN% and %TIME% in your string. It is not advised to remove the %TIME% variable! And don't put any weird stuff there.
You can see this in the example below (this is included in the zip file).
Download the file at:
http://www.mailenable.com/hotfix/MESMTP_Welcome.zip
To install, just stop the SMTP service, replace with new one, then start. Make a backup of the old SMTP service in case you need to revert.

Code: Select all
"Welcome Message"="%LOCALDOMAIN% ESMTP ready at %TIME%"
"Scramble Welcome Enabled"=dword:00000002
