Hmm. At least the NL people use Exim (haven't checked what the SMTP
banner says). But when I send mail from my demon account, a line like
the following is in the received headers:
Received: from [194.159.224.75] (helo=wurtel.demon.nl)
by post.mail.nl.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.02 #1)
id 0zQaxA-0003Hh-00; Tue, 6 Oct 1998 17:31:16 +0000
The SMTP banner is trivial to customize, of course... The default is
smtp_banner = "${primary_hostname} ESMTP Exim ${version_number} \
#${compile_number} ${tod_full}"
