NAME
SendMail
SYNOPSIS
SendMail <mailfile -f user -R realname -t to -c ccto -b bccto -s subject -r -raw
DESCRIPTION
-r is specified to force sendmail not to process the 'From ' header
and is automatically specified when sendmail is run as rmail. Note
that if run as rmail, the command line contains only To: addresses.
options are ignored.
For sending mail, all options are optional except -f. The 'from'
user must be specified. SendMail will process and regenerate the
Subject:, To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines, appending any additional
specifications on the command line. SendMail will generate From:,
Date:, and other required headers, then send the mail to the
appropriate destinatoin.
A given mail file consists of zero or more headers, a blank line,
then the mail contents. The -raw option may be used for unformatted
mail (see below)
-f user
Specify user sourcing the mail, generates a 'From:' header. This
header will be overridden by any From: headers in the data file
-R realname
Specify real name of user sourcing the mail. This name is placed
in parenthesis after the user name in the generated 'From:' header.
-t to
specify the email address to send the mail to
-c ccto
specify the email address to send a carbon copy to
-b bccto
specify the email address to send a blind carbon copy to
(other recipients do not know you sent the mail to this
address because the Bcc: line is never propogated)
-s subject
specify the subject of the article. The subject must be placed
in quotes if it contains tabs or spaces.
-r
Specify that sendmail is to go into 'rmail' mode. This mode also
occurs if sendmail is renamed to rmail and run as rmail. In this
mode, the very first line of the data file MUST be in the
'From ' form (From with a space and no colon), as in UUCP received
mail. After this headers are expected, then a blank line, then
mail data.
If not specified and sendmail is run, the 'From ' is not
expected, but the headers, blank line, and mail are.
-raw
Specify that the the TEXT BODY ON STDIN IS UNFORMATTED. Sendmail
does not attempt to scan the text body for headers but assumes it
is entirely data. Otherwise, the text body must contain zero or
more headers, a blank line, and then the text body.
For example: sendmail <datafile -f root -t marco -s test
Where the datafile (on stdin) is not formatted... does not contain
any headers or even necessarily a blank line at the beginning.
UULIB:Config
MaxRMailLen
If 0, means only one recipient per queue file is allowed (some
mailers are restricted like this). If non-zero, then specifies
maximum length, in bytes, that the 'C rmail' line in the X.
file may be. If the recipient list is larger than the buffer
length, then multiple queue files will be generated.
MailBounce Y/N
Enables mail bouncing, Default N, remember that you must also
then remove the '*' (default node) entry in your Domain file
to have this do anything reasonable.
DomainPath Y/N
(Also enables DomainPath for news), places your fully domained
host name in mail headers instead of USENET node name. Use ONLY
if your feed requires it. Default N
NOTES
(1) any unqualified To: or Cc: fields (i.e. local users) will be
qualified with your machine's full domain name. This includes
local users in aliases.
(2) sendmail will attempt to group multiple recipients of a given
message into a single batch file, if possible. (Previous to
1.07 sendmail would generate a batch file for each recipient)
(3) see MAN/ALIASES for changes in the way aliases are expanded on
the To: field. The default as of 1.07 is to expand aliases.
A double-colon specification in the alias causes it to NOT be
expanded in the To: field.
