NAME
sendmail
—
a mail enqueuer for
smtpd(8)
SYNOPSIS
sendmail |
[-tv ] [-F
name] [-f
from] to ... |
DESCRIPTION
The sendmail
utility is a local enqueuer
for the smtpd(8) daemon,
compatible with mailwrapper(8). 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:
-F
name- Set the sender's full name.
-f
from- Set the sender's address.
-t
- Read the message's To:, Cc:, and Bcc: fields for recipients. The Bcc: field will be deleted before sending.
-v
- Enable verbose output.
To maintain compatibility with Sendmail, Inc.'s implementation of
sendmail
, various other flags are accepted, but have
no effect.
EXIT STATUS
The sendmail
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
