Determine the version of the SMTP service software, using a non-privileged account. $ /usr/lib/sendmail -d0 -bt < /dev/null (Note: While this command will report the sendmail version almost immediately, it will take several moments to return to the shell prompt. Press ctrl-C to terminate the sendmail process.) Version 8.14.4 is the latest required version. Version 8.14.4+Sun is available from Oracle for Solaris. If the sendmail version is not at least 8.14.4 or Oracle's latest version, this is a finding.
