RE: Identify the make and model of a Mail Server

["Terry Vernon" <tvernon24 () comcast net>]

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.

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!

Regards,

DF
