Cisco PIX ORCPT scrambling..
We are seeing this error again and again with each remote system having
a CISCO PIX firewall. Does anyone know if this is an issue that has been
raised with Cisco? Do they know about it? Do they have a bug id
associated with this? Does anyone know the PIX commands to turn off the
DSN from the EHLO capability reports until Cisco can fix this?
