As per rfc821 section 4.3 and rfc2821 section 4.3.1 when a remote mta connects to your checkpoint smtp security server the 220 banner returned should be: 220 hostname.domain.tld Where the hostname.domain.tld has a dns A record pointing to the ip address of the checkpoint smtp security server.
In checkpoint this smtp banner is set in the policy Global Properties, Firewall-1 tab, Security Server tab, SMTP welcome message. By default if the entry is left blank, the smtp security server returns "220 CheckPoint FireWall-1 secure ESMTP server". My question is, how can I set this banner to a hostname when your mgmt station manages multiple firewalls running the smtp security server as there is just one place to set this smtp banner so whatever you set this to will be used as the smtp banner for all smtp security servers? BTW, a handy place to verify your dns records are setup properly, http://www.dnsreport.com/ Thanks, Craig ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
