When a connection is established with an SMTP service, the recipient server
sends a human-readable greeting to the client, the "SMTP banner". What the
SMTP banner displays has no effect on e-mail service, but, like the HTTP
Server header, it divulges details about the software running on the box.
Details that you would not want a would be hacker to know about.
If you change the banner they don't know what server version you are
running.
This is how to do it for Exchange 2000
