Below I show one way to get this info.  As you can see, SunOS 5.5.1 ships
with a Sun-modified version of SM v8.6

(drl(_at_)jester)1% /usr/lib/sendmail -d0.1 -bt
Version SMI-8.6
SYSTEM IDENTITY (after readcf):
            (short domain name) $w = jester
        (canonical domain name) $j = $w.$m
               (subdomain name) $m = vuse
                    (node name) $k = mailhost
ADDRESS TEST MODE (ruleset 3 NOT automatically invoked)
Enter <ruleset> <address>
> (drl(_at_)jester)2% uname -a
SunOS jester 5.5.1 Generic sun4c sparc SUNW,Sun_4_75
(drl(_at_)jester)3%
