Unfortunately, "--version" took a while to make it into Exim and was first added for 4.73; before that, you need to use "-bV" instead. (--version is just an alias for -bV). Older Debian ships Exim 4.69+many_patches, so "/usr/sbin/sendmail -bV" should help. And this problem is why we added --version in the first place: everyone expects it now. :) > But on my debian box (current stable distribution), there is no > /usr/bin/sendmail binary even though I have exim installed.

Try: $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/sendmail If that returns a response, then that package provided the symlink. If it doesn't, then sendmail program in your path might be managed by the Alternatives system, see update-alternatives(8). Running: $ ls -ld /usr/bin/sendmail might show a symlink to /etc/alternatives/<something> -- if so, then you use update-alternatives(8) to manage it. -Phil -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
