Hi, Whenever I call sendmail from a script I use:

[tt]/usr/lib/sendmail[/tt]

but I have seen some scripts that use:

[tt]/usr/lib/sendmail -t[/tt]

What does that extra -t do?

It means that sendmail should read the message to work out who to send the email to -- rather than taking them from the command line.

Any addresses on the command line will *not* receive email even if specified in a To:, Cc:, or Bcc: line in the email.
