It depends on what the old version of Sendmail was. What do you get
when you telnet to port 25?
: giorgos@gothmog[20:33]/home/giorgos$ telnet 0 25
: Trying 0.0.0.0...
: Connected to 0.
: Escape character is '^]'.
: 220 gothmog.gr ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Mon, 10 Mar 2003 20:33:46 +0200 (EET)
: quit
: 221 2.0.0 gothmog.gr closing connection
: Connection closed by foreign host.
: giorgos@gothmog[20:33]/home/giorgos$
The two version numbers after "ESMTP Sendmail" above are, in order,
the version of the Sendmail executable and the version of the
sendmail.cf file.
