[KLUG Members] sendmail version?

[Daniel]

In most cases, you can 'man programname' to find out. In many cases, it is either:
progname -v
progname -V
progname --version


In this case, however, I am unaware of a flag to do it. If sendmail is running, you can telnet to port 25 to see:

drk:drk:[12:09pm]:~> telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 drk.burst.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.5/8.12.5; Tue, 7 Jan 2003 12:09:49 -0500



there - I have 8.12.5
