SUMMARY
If you are running multiple Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) virtual servers on a single computer, you can configure each server to respond with a different host name in the service banner. For example, you might have a dual-homed server with one network adapter on the private network and the other network adapter exposed to the Internet.



MORE INFORMATION
To have a server respond with a different host name in the service banner, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Exchange System Manager.
 * 2) Expand the Administrative Groups object, expand the   object, and then expand the Servers object.
 * 3) Expand the server object that you want to host the extra virtual servers, and then expand the Protocols object.
 * 4) Right-click SMTP, point to New, and then click SMTP Virtual Server.
 * 5) Assign a name to the new SMTP virtual server, and then assign it to a specific IP.
 * 6) After the SMTP virtual server object is created, right-click the object, and then click Properties.
 * 7) Click the Delivery tab, and then click Advanced.
 * 8) Edit the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to reflect the host name that you want to appear in the service sign-on banner.
 * 9) Right-click the new virtual server, click Stop, and then restart it.
 * 10) To test the new name, click Start, click Run, and then in the Open box, type telnet   25.
