>stderr is often used to print warnings or error messages. I don't think so,because the output is one continuous transcript of the dialog between TCPMAIL and the POP/SMTP server,and there are no reasons why those lines should have been treated differently. However,how can I test it? I also noticed there is no screen output for a time,then all output is displayed without pause,while TCPMAIL without redirection sends the output to screen as the dialog proceeds. So,probably,everything is redirected to a temporary file until TCPMAIL exits and then TEE takes over and sends the file contents to screen, afterwards copies the file to a permanent one and exits. Is it so? If yes,could it be that TEE makes some copy mistake ?
