Sendmail read its version number (what it will show on connect) off its /etc/sendmail.cf file. It will hold an entry that says something like: # Configuration version number DZ8.12.3 Unless you specifically build a new sendmail.cf (with m4), and installed it, it will simply display the old string. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
