Thanks for the input. I'll give that a try on my next visit.

Are you using a Cisco Pix firewall? If yes, it is most likely the handiwork

it from your firewall by going to the configuration mode and issuing the

no fixup protocol smtp 25

Server in question is SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003 SP2 (Build 7638.2)

We had some email issues due to lack of rDNS which has been fixed.

I have verified that Default SMTP Virutal Server - Delivery - Advanced
lists our correct fqdn for our email.

However on a dsstuff.com report shows that our server is sending out a
string of * for the SMTP greeting as follows:

'********************************************************************0****0*2*************************200*****0******0*00':

220
********************************************************************

Is there somehwere else I need to look to see where our server is
generating this garbled SMTP greeting from?
