I started a 32-bit Slackware 13.1 virtual machine to test what sendmail reports in a clean install:
Code:
root@virtslack-131:~# sendmail -d0.1 -v -bv root
Version 8.14.4
Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SASLv2
SCANF SOCKETMAP STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG
So it must be the package you have installed which is at fault. Obviously it is not coming from an official Slackware 13.1 tree, or some dependencies are not being met.
Are you perhaps running Slackware 13.0 with a Slackware 13.1 package for sendmail installed on top of it?
