Summary:
I was wonderin how to determine the version of sendmail that was running
on my machines. Basically, short of being lucky enough to have the version
in the comments of the sendmail.cf file, there were two suggestions.
Both work.
1) telnet <machine.name> 25
this telnets into port 25 that sendmail works on, and when you get in, you
get a welcome banner. Most of the time this will tell you the version
number, but apparently this is a customizable string, so it may not
contain the info you want. Once you are in, you can type 'help' and get
some info, which will contain the version number (probably).
2) run sendmail with some switches - this version seems like the more
viable alternative. Most everyone who threw this one at me suggested:
'sendmail -bt -d0.1' - I used this and got plenty of info. The nice thing
about this one is that in addition to the version number you also get info
on the options that we're compiled into the particular binary that you are
using. One person suggested 'sendmail -bp -d0.5' I didn't try this one.
In addition, someone pointed out that sendmail is available from
digital/compaq's site via:
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/IAS
I haven't looked yet to see whats there.
Finally, here's what I discovered:
Sendmail versions on the machines we have - note that none of these
machines have any patches applied to them - they are straight installs
from the CD's.
4.0D - really old! sendmail 5.65v4.0
4.0E - better, sendmail 8.8.8
4.0F - same as E, 8.8.8
Thanks once again to all that helped!
(Now if I could figure out how to get Xdec to run in 16bit color my life
would be awesome!)
Cheers!
