Hi,

Yes I meant only those that contain 'HELO' or 'EHLO'. I'll see if I can get this work from your email.

Sincerely,
Mike

This is the output I'm getting

 0.090293 74.xx.xx.xx -> 64.xx.xx.xx   SMTP C: EHLO host22.example.com

That is exactly what I'm looking for.

How can I can narrow the filter only those that contain 'SMTP'?

"Contain 'SMTP'" in what sense? Port 25 traffic normally "contains SMTP" in the sense that the traffic going to or from TCP port 25 is almost always SMTP traffic (nothing absolutely *prevents* non-SMTP traffic to be sent on port 25, but it's not usually done.

Or do you mean "only those that contain 'HELO' or 'EHLO'"? That's trickier, but it should be possible, even with a capture filter - you want TCP segments where the payload begins with "HELO" or "EHLO".

If there are no TCP options, then

        tcp[20:4] = 0x48454c4f or tcp[20:4] = 0x45484c4f

will match all segments beginning with HELO or EHLO, so

tcp port 25 and src host 74.xx.xx.xx and (tcp[20:4] = 0x48454c4f or tcp[20:4] = 0x45484c4f)

should work as a capture filter. If there are TCP options, it'd be a little more complicated, as "20" would have to be replaced by the length of the TCP header (it can be done, I'd just have to spend some more time figuring it out).

One of these days I may look at adding some libpcap syntax to do string matching and matching on TCP/UDP payload contents.
