Re: ESMTP question

- Did you telnet to those hosts and issue EHLO? Did they drop the connection immediately?
- Best way to do this is by creating a SMTP Connector, adding those address spaces to it, and enforcing HELO. This is in SMTP Connector properties | Advances -> check "Send HELO instead of EHLO"
- No options on SMTP VS to enforce HELO instead of EHLO, afaik

Hmm, I have seen some SMTP servers out there which can't support ESMTP, seem to drop the connection stright out,
So, is there a place to force HELO, when I don't have a connector?

That's the default, and that's how SMTP/ESMTP standards say it should work.
The only other option is to enforce HELO (thereby not support ESMTP at all.. ). The default option works - if ESMTP is not supported, they "downgrade" the session and use HELO instead.

Hi,
My exchange 2003 server uses Direct DNS resolution to sent message out.
So, I do not have a connector configured for this purpose. But then where can I look to verify that my server is using EHLO, where possible, and if other server doesn't understand ESMTP commands, then use HELO.
Where do change the priority?
