On the sendmail.org site I found the following test to check if your hand-patching was successful. I guess that should be the same for the suse patched sendmail.
From sendmail.org: (http://www.sendmail.org/patchcr.html)
To check whether the new sendmail binary contains the patch, run this command (in the directory where the binary is located): strings sendmail | grep 'Dropped invalid comments from header address' The command must print the string Dropped invalid comments from header address Regards, uli -----Original Message----- From: Sven 'Darkman' Michels [mailto:sven@darkman.de] Sent: Dienstag, 4.

Hi
I did :
rcsendmail stop rcsendmail start
still the header is the same as before...
sorry. i forgot to write that in the first mail :-(
As SuSE only patches the current running version on each distro you have to take a look into the changelog: rpm -q sendmail --changelog there should be something that informs you about the patch. Otherwise check the installed version: rpm -q sendmail if it's the announced version for your SuSE distro (like sendmail-8.12.6-91 for 8.1) you're safe now (as long as someonw who runs sendmail can be safe ;) Regards, Sven -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands, e-mail: suse-security-help@suse.com Security-related bug reports go to security@suse.de, not here
