NAME

6       sendmail - a mail enqueuer for smtpd(8)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       sendmail [-tv] [-F name] [-f from] to ...
10

DESCRIPTION

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

EXIT STATUS

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