mini_sendmail(8)	     System Manager's Manual		mini_sendmail(8)

NAME
     mini_sendmail - accept email on behalf of real sendmail

SYNOPSIS
     mini_sendmail  [-f<name>]	[-t]  [-s<server>] [-p<port>] [-T<timeout>] [-v]
     address ...

DESCRIPTION
     With no flags, mini_sendmail reads its standard input up to an  end-of-file
     and sends a copy of the message found there to all of the addresses listed.

     The  message  is  sent  by  connecting  to a local SMTP server.  This means
     mini_sendmail can be used to send email from inside a chroot(2) area.

     -f     Sets the name of the "from" person (i.e. the sender of the mail).

     -t     Read message for recipients.  To:,	Cc:,  and  Bcc:  lines	will  be
	    scanned  for recipient addresses.  The Bcc: line will be deleted be-
	    fore transmission.

     -s     Specifies the SMTP server to use.  Without this it uses localhost.

     -p     Specifies the port to use.	Without this it uses  25,  the	standard
	    SMTP port.

     -T     Specifies timeout - defaults to one minute.

     -v     Verbose mode - shows the conversation with the SMTP server.
