sendmail(8)

NAME

     sendmail --- a mail enqueuer for smtpd(8)

SYNOPSIS

     sendmail [-tv] [-f from] [-F name] to ...

DESCRIPTION

     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      Read the message's To:, Cc:, and Bcc: fields for recipients.  The
         Bcc: field will be deleted before sending.

     -v      Enable verbose output.

     -f      Set the sender's address.

     -F      Set the sender's full name.

     To maintain compatibility with Sendmail, Inc.'s implementation of
     sendmail, various other flags are accepted, but these have no effect.

EXIT STATUS

     The sendmail utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
