sendmail [ flags ] [ recipients ] < message

This program is a front end program for nullmailer-inject and nullmailer-smtpd. It is used by programs that expect a sendmail interface for sending email. After parsing the command-line arguments, this program executes either nullmailer-inject or nullmailer-smtpd depending on the presence of the -bs option on the command-line. See the documentation for nullmailer-inject for details on how messages are reformatted and queued.
