If you can connect to the port from the outside simply hooking up to it with telnet should give you a banner message with the software version. Some mail servers refuse that information however. -Terry -----Original Message----- From: Doug Fox [mailto:dfox168 () hotmail com] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 10:30 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Identify the make and model of a Mail Server One can use NetCraft (www.netcraft.com) to identify a web server if it is Appache, IIS, etc. How can one identify a mail server behind a firewall, be it Exchange, GroupWise, or Lotus Notes? nmap or nessus helps identify if a mail server is available through tcp port 25. Any info is much appreciated!
