Solution

I am no "Hmail Server" expert, but according to its documentation, you just need to change the SMTP banner:

• In the "Hmail server" settings:

  Configuration | SMTP settings | Welcome message

So you are saying that your mail server do not display its banner on local but only from outside ? What about other PCs on your side of the router ?

It is considered good practice to include the relevant information of the link. As some day the link might become unavailable and then your answer will become useless.

updated my answer with more info, but I'm not providing instructions as I'm not familiar with that particular device.
