You are right... I didn't expect something like that would be in
there.
But now that I have I still don't know much more.
VERSIONID is a macro that stuffs the version information into the
resulting file. You could use SCCS, RCS, CVS, something else, or
omit it completely. This is not the same as the version id included
in SMTP greeting messages -- this is defined in m4/version.m4.
I still don't know where it gets the VERSIONID information.
As far as stuffing it into the resulting file, I do not see that
either.
sendmail.cf appears to have no VERSIONID line.
Other than the one that is an exact copy of
sendmail.mc but
commented.
Unless it means this:

Which does not mention VERSIONID either.
