The shell is just doing string substitution. The line,
SENDMAIL_OPTS=
sets the variable to the empty string.
Then this line
... $SENDMAIL $SENDMAIL_OPTS "$@"
substitutes the empty string for the variable.
This happens before the shell parses the command to break it into
words, so it just looks like there are two spaces between
"/usr/sbin/sendmail" and the first supplied argument.
So, in other words, it's fine. No bugs here...
