Is there a way to modify the SMTP Virtual Server message header to not
display the version information about SMTP in IIS 5.0?
ie. the string "Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713)" or in 6.0 the SMPT string
for 6.0

I believe I already have tried this... this will edit the SMTP banner as
doing a telnet to the server on port 25 -
But what I am seeing is that the data is still being placed in a message
header.
So, whats the point of masking it in a banner if it still shows in the
message... figure there must be a way to accomplish this. But how..?

I am not really sure i understand what you mean. Do you mean the Internet
Header defined in RFC 822? Section "4.3.2. Received"?
As far as i know this is not possible to modify.

Maybe - I am not a expert in mail or RFC 822 but just took a glance at it.
For Received it appears that for each relay an entry is added to the message
header pertaining to the relay host. In my case, even though the SMTPSVC
string is being blocked in the Registry, it appears that the SMTP virtual
server is still sending the detail of the service running - by making an
entry in the message header.
Now prior to a message getting relayed off of this server, I have filter
software editing the message header to clean up some of this data I do not
want leaving my company by changing the routing data for my internal hosts.
However, once it hits the next server (my relay server outside of the domain)
it gets this stamp on it.
That is the part I want to mask.

Okay,
Then we are talking about the same thing. That is good.
The information i have on this is that it cannot be changed. I will want to
verify this with someone i know and will get back to you as soon as possible
(probably tomorrow, it is late in my time zone).

Hi,
My contact says that there is no supported way to change this, and he does
not know of any unsupported way. It seems that the only way to modify this
is with third-party software (as you already do on one server).
I'm sorry. If i get any other information i will update you.
