Name
$v
Synopsis
The v
macro contains
the current version of the sendmail program,
taken from the Version
variable that is
initialized in version.c of the
sendmail source. $v
is used
in defining the SmtpGreetingMessage
($e
) option (SmtpGreetingMessage):
O SmtpGreetingMessage=$j Sendmail $v
/$Z; $b
in Received
: header lines (Received:):
$.by $j ($v
/$Z)$?r with $r$. id $i$?{tls_version}
and in the Helpfile
message (HelpFile):
214-2.0.0 This is sendmail version 8.12.7
The value given to $v
can vary with the vendor.
There is currently no standard for identifying variations on the
sendmail program. Clearly, $v
cannot contain a true picture, unless your binary is built from the
open source distribution.
$v
is internally defined when
sendmail starts up. It can be redefined in the
configuration file or as part of the command line.
