Yes. My point was that it was obvious from the Nessus logs that it had
figured out it was talking to a Qmail server, but it made no reference
to that fact in the report.

This is out of character (IMHO) as Nessus definitely reports when it
finds an Apache or IIS server - so why not other services such as SMTP?
(I haven't checked what it reports for FTP, etc, so maybe this affects
more than just SMTP)
