sendmail
— a mail
enqueuer for smtpd(8)
sendmail |
[-tv ] [-f
from] [-F
name] to ... |
The sendmail
utility is a
mailwrapper(8) compatible interface which acts as a local
enqueuer for the smtpd(8) daemon. The message is read on
standard input (stdin) until sendmail
encounters an
end-of-file. The sendmail
enqueuer is not intended
to be used directly to send mail, but rather via a frontend known as a mail
user agent.
Unless the optional -t
flag is specified,
one or more recipients must be specified on the command line.
The options are as follows:
-t
-v
-f
-F
To maintain compatibility with Sendmail, Inc.'s implementation of
sendmail
, various other flags are accepted, but
these have no effect.
The sendmail
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
