Determining Mail Server

Command Line

[fashezee]

When connected to a FTP server with dos prompt; what is the command line that I can
type to determine what mail program is installed on the server.

I don't think you can do that.

[HughMungus]

I know this doesn't answer your question (because I don't know) but I have a program that sends emails via smtp command line and I've never had to bother with type.

Curious: Why does it matter?

[ncsuk]

telnet domain name 110

Should tell you the type of mail server

[kwngian]

at command prompt ;

telnet mailserver.ip.address 25

will tell you some information.

Exchange, Lotus, MailDaemon and most will introduce themselves by default.

Some don't or are configured not to for fear of abuse.

A handful of mail servers are known to accept mails from anyone that claims as [e-mail] without authentication.

By revealing their mail server software also reveals their version and available exploits to "potential" hackers.
