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.
