SMTP settings Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment This script just sets a couple of SMTP parameters. Several checks need to use a third party host/domain name to work properly. The checks that rely on this are SMTP or DNS relay checks. By default, nessus.org is being used. However, under some circumstances, this may make leak packets from your network to this domain, thus compromising the privacy of your tests. While the owner of 'nessus.org' is not known to keep logs of such packet traces, you may want to change this value to maximize your privacy. Note that you absolutely need this option to be set to a *third party* domain. This means a domain that has *nothing to do* with the domain name of the network you are testing.
