9 sendmail [-tv] [-F name] [-f from] to ...
10
12 The sendmail utility is a local enqueuer for the smtpd(8) daemon, com‐
13 patible with mailwrapper(8). The message is read on standard input
14 (stdin) until sendmail encounters an end-of-file. The sendmail
15 enqueuer is not intended to be used directly to send mail, but rather
16 via a frontend known as a mail user agent.
17
18 Unless the optional -t flag is specified, one or more recipients must
19 be specified on the command line.
20
21 The options are as follows:
22
23 -F name
24 Set the sender's full name.
25
26 -f from
27 Set the sender's address.
28
29 -t Read the message's To:, Cc:, and Bcc: fields for recipi‐
30 ents. The Bcc: field will be deleted before sending.
31
32 -v Enable verbose output.
33
34 To maintain compatibility with Sendmail, Inc.'s implementation of
35 sendmail, various other flags are accepted, but have no effect.
36
38 The sendmail utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
