The configured 'sendmail' is invoked (in
rss2email.email.sendmail_send') as:
{configured-sendmail} -f {sender} {recipient} < {message}
If you don't use sendmail, but do use a drop in replacement, you just
configure the 'sendmail' setting to point to your replacement. If
your replacement doesn't support sendmail's usage syntax, you just
need to add a shim script to bridge the gap:
#!/bin/sh
SENDER=''
RECIPIENT=''
while [ "$#" -gt 0 ]; do
case "$1" in
'-f')
shift;
SENDER="$1"
;;
*)
RECIPIENT="$1"
break
;;
esac
shift
done
{your-mda} {your args, using $SENDER and $RECIPIENT as you see fit}
Due to the prevalance of the sendmail interface (sendmail, postfix,
esmtp, …), I imagine a shim like this would be useful for a number of
programs besides rss2email for anyone without any of the
sendmail-compatible mail handers installed.
