The value to --sendmail-command is not executed by the shell. It
is parsed by darcs and executed as a raw command, so the
backquotes will not have any effect. Otherwise your last try
(quoted above) is the correct way to enter the value for
--sendmail-command; only single arguments that contain spaces
need to be quoted in singlequotes, like:
send sendmail-command touch -d 2008-08-01 'spacy file stamp'
You could try something like:
send sendmail-command sh -e 'torify ssmtp -au `gpg-address` ... '
but I have not checked if that really works.
