Hi Alexander,

I once had this problem as well. And as far as I recall was this due to the
version setting in my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. But I seem to remember that this
would also show at the telnet to port 25 prompt. Manually changing the version
number fixed the complaint.

Perhaps your sendmail running with periodic uses a different .cf???
