You can also use amap, which helps you detect service on specific
port. Vmap is useful as well, especially if you want to identify ftp,
http, smtp, pop3 and imap server.

Nmap can do more than tell you if a port is open it will also detect what service is running on that port if possible

Subject: Identification 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
