Question:

How do I remove SEG/MailMarshal SMTP information from the Message Header and greeting string?

Procedure:

By default the message header displays the following information:

Received: from machine_name ([IP address]) by domain.com with Trustwave SEG (version number)

The greeting string displays the following information:

220 domain.com ESMTP Trustwave SEG (version number) Ready
In some cases it may be preferred to remove this information from the message header and/or the greeting string.  For example, you may not want to advertise the fact that SEG/MailMarshal is installed or what version is installed.  

 

To alter these items you can adjust the following settings (these changes apply to the entire array):

MailMarshal 6.5 and above

  1. In the Configurator or MailMarshal (SEG) 10 Management Console, navigate to Array Properties | Receiver Properties | Advanced.
  2. Modify the Greeting String and Received Header fields.

MailMarshal 6.0 through 6.4

  1. Click Tools | Server and Array Properties.
  2. Click Advanced  tab.
  3. Click Additional Options.
  4. Click Receiver tab.
    • Click the Help button for additional information regarding the options that are on the tab.

Notes:

You can also change the server name used as the HELO name when connecting to send mail. See Trustwave Knowledgebase article Q10259.
