This alert on an SMTP check on Mxtoolbox is trivial.
It could be because your outbound (sending) mail server is blocking un-authenticated port 25 use by spammers. Instead you can authenticate (login) on port 487 to send email.
This from Mxtoolbox:
“Also, the banner mismatch is just a warning. There’s nothing that says that having a mismatch (or no hostnme in your banner at all) will cause you to have difficulty sending or receiving mail, it’s really more of a best practice.”

This usually means that the server doesn’t have the php-mbsting enabled.
When rebuilding Apache with Easy Apache, on step 6 (exhaustive options), scroll down and check php-mbstring.
Then let it compile as usual.
Mine had an alert near the end of the make process “No package php-mbstring available.
Error: Nothing to do”
However it fixed the problem!
Another way to enable php-mbsting is manually run in SSH shell as root:
“yum -y install php-mbstring”, then “service httpd restart”
Mine couldn’t find php-mbstring, but that’s probably just a matter of adding the right repository to yum.

In my phpinfo screen, my server now says this:
