So I am also looking into DNS and my hoster tells me this...

DNS is fine. Forward:



mail.aptn.ca. 7200 IN A 139.142.213.125



Reverse:



125.213.142.139.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR mail.aptn.ca.



But the banner on the server is the .local name:



Trying 139.142.213.125...Connected to mail.aptn.ca.Escape character is
'^]'.220 aptnexch.aptn.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Wed, 9
Apr 2014

07:13:45 -0500


How do I change my banner on my local server?
