Hi All,

I have a mailserver that is behind a Cisco PIX mailguard. This mailguard discards all ESMTP commands, and a sample transaction looks like this:

binand@binand[~]:(3) telnet mail.xxxxx.com smtp Trying x.x.x.x... Connected to mail.xxxxx.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 *********************** EHLO there 502 ESMTP command error HELO there 250-mail.xxxxx.com Ok. 250-STARTTLS 250-XVERP=Courier 250-XEXDATA 250-XSECURITY=NONE,STARTTLS 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250 DSN

Courier makes multiline ESMTP reponses to the old SMTP HELO also.

I have mailed the admins to remove the mailguard feature from the PIX, but till then, I need to make courier make SMTP responses to HELO. How do I do that?

Any other suggestions in getting courier work behind this hideous PIX will also be appreciated.

Don't think there's anything you can do, apart from pestering the admins to feed 'no fixup protocol smtp 25' to the PIX box which breaks ESMTP.
