SIMS sends "Sending 220-Stalker Internet Mail Server V.1.8b8 is ready.\r\n220 ESMTP is 
spoken here. You are welcome\r\n" when a MTA connects. Is there something in an RFC 
that requires that the host name be sent in the greeting? I ask because I just tried 
out www.dnsreport.com and it complains (in the resulting report):

WARN    Mail server host name in greeting       WARNING: One or more of your 
mailservers claims to be a host other than what it really is. This probably won't 
cause any harm, but is a technical violation of RFC821 4.3.
WARNING: mail.mdcclxxvi.com. claims to be host Stalker.
WARNING: smtp.az.net. claims to be host Stalker.
