$v
The version of sendmail All versions
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 on page
1093):
O SmtpGreetingMessage=$j Sendmail $v
/$Z; $b
in Received
: header
lines (Received: on page
1162):
$.by $j ($v
/$Z)$?r with $r$. id $i$?{tls_version}
and in the Helpfile
message (HelpFile on page
1035):
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.
