The article posted above is for Exchange 2000/2003, not Exchange 2007.
What exactly do you want to change? The only thing that you can change in the GUI is the ehlo. This is set in two places - on the receive connector and on the send connector.
However if you don't have an SSL certificate that matches then you will get errors in the event viewer.

I think I understand what the Author is looking for:
If you telnet to your smtp server on port 25, it will show the MX record name as well as "Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at DATE"
I think he wants to change the portion after the MX name. Am I correct?

What the Exchange server announces itself as has nothing to do with the MX records. It should match the host name, but it doesn't read the MX records to see what to state. You could set it to announce itself as blah.blah.blah and that is what the SMTP header will say.
However you cannot change the Default Receive Connector from anything other than the server's FQDN, NETBIOS name or null.

Hey,
You cant do it in the EMC (GUI), you can only control the SMTP banner by using the Banner parameter in the Set-ReceiveConnector cmdlet. The banner can be anything you wish - but the text string must always start with "220 ". As defined in RFC 2821 as the default "Service ready" SMTP code.
To set a new banner text use:
Set-ReceiveConnector <ConnectorIdentity> -Banner "<220 RemainingBannerText>"
e.g
Set-ReceiveConnector "MyServer\Defaualt " -Banner "220 ESMTP Ready..."
