Current sendmail version?

Does anyone know the current sendmail version on release 6.303?

Recently, I get frequent IPS Alerts for sid=2183( packet has *not* been dropped).

SNORT says this event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a known vulnerability in "Systems running open-source sendmail versions prior to 8.12.9, including UNIX and Linux systems".

Thanks.

Astaro doesn't use Sendmail.

They're presently using exim, I believe.

Don't worry.

Someone just tries to find a vulnerable sendmail SMTP server but will never succeed on the ASG because EXIM is used...

Nice to know but nothing more.

ASG ver 6.3 uses Exim ver 4.43 for its mail processing. This is not the newest version of Exim. The current version is 4.63. For more info on Exim, see the URL below:

Incidentally, I've found that I get a lot of confirmed false positives in the SMTP category.. a quick check of where the traffic came from often shows it came from a customer or vendor, legitimate traffic.. the sendmail rules seem to get triggered quite a bit.. I just disable those, as they are for sendmail, and I'm running Exim in front of Exchange.
