    In the .mc file:

    define(`confSMTP_LOGIN_MSG', `$j Sendmail 8.12.11/8.12.10; $b')

    in the .cf file:

    O SmtpGreetingMessage=$j Sendmail 8.12.11/8.12.10; $b

    I am not sure what is causing these error message, but this will work better
    to silence them:

    ifup eth0 >/dev/null 2>&1

    And they may be coming from the console and not stderr or stdout. So
    you can't silence them by redirecting output.

    On boot these messages should appear in dmesg (I think... maybe) if
    they are output on boot.
