DESCRIPTION¶

utility is a
mailwrapper(8) compatible interface which acts as
a local enqueuer for the smtpd(8) daemon. The

agent.

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.

, various other flags are accepted,
but these have no effect.
