Hello list,

Can anyone tell me why, when I telnet to one of my email servers over
port 25 that the SMTP greeting is starred (*) out, but if I telnet to
the same server over the submission port I get the standard greeting. As
follows:

# telnet host.domain.com 25
Trying 'host address'
Connected to 'host address'
Escape character is '^]'
220 *************************************************************

# telnet host.domain.com 587
Trying 'host address'
Connected to 'host address'
Escape character is '^]'
220 smtp server greeting


And, will this affect my SMTP email reception in any way?

Eric
