Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote SMTP server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description :

The remote host is running MailEnable, a commercial mail server for
Windows.

The version of MailEnable Professional or MailEnable Enterprise
installed on the remote host has several problems involving its
support of NTLM authentication. A remote, unauthenticated attacker
can leverage these flaws to execute arbitrary code on the remote host
or crash the SMTP connector.

Note that NTLM authentication is not enabled in MailEnable by default
but is on the remote host.
