I don't know much about sonic walls, but if it has any mail (port 25)
'features', I'd turn them off if possible. spamdyke does a fine job in
and of itself. QMT doesn't reallly need to be behind any type of smtp
filter or proxy. In fact, Sam is considering modifying spamdyke such
that it can be more readily used as an smtp proxy.
FWIW.

Hey,
Did you tried googling it? "telnet smtp 220 asterisks"?
Looks like is a cisco feature.

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 <http://host.domain.com> 25
Trying 'host address'
Connected to 'host address'
Escape character is '^]'
220 *************************************************************
# telnet host.domain.com <http://host.domain.com> 587
Trying 'host address'
Connected to 'host address'
Escape character is '^]'
220 smtp server greeting
Looks to me like there is some other host that's receiving the
port 25 traffic, like a firewall/proxy device of some sort, that's
either intercepting or altering the 220 reply. If you're not
seeing any tcpserver lines in the smtp log, then it'd be the
former. If you do see corresponding tcpserver log messages, then
it'd be the later.
And, will this affect my SMTP email reception in any way?
I wouldn't think so. It would keep your server from being counted
in some polling that's done to see what kind of mail servers
people are using. It's for that reason that I encourage people to
leave the "Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.3" string in there. I probably
should bump up that version for the new packages. ;)
