The sendmail binaries from SA-03:04 (on ftp.freebsd.org) are the same binaries you would get if you CVSup'd on the security branch and rebuilt. So that's correct -- the version number does not change. The patch added a new log message which you can check for. Do `strings /path/to/sendmail | grep Dropped'. % strings ./sendmail-4.6-i386-crypto.bin| grep Dropped Dropped invalid comments from header address Cheers, -- Jacques A.
