Well, using -t and -f together does not make sense imho. Here's a quote of
the man-page from sendmail
-t Extract recipients from message headers. This
requires that no recipients be specified on the
command line.
The following small script (tested with qmail, of course) worked for me.
#!/bin/sh
cat <<EOF| /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t
From: rainer@localhost
To: test@localhost
Subject: test
my test text.
EOF
That's basically just the same way we use to generate notification
messages in AMaViS :)
Anyway, I would use AMaViS-Perl instead of AMaViS with qmail :)
(Note to all SuSE Linux users: /usr/bin/suidperl is for security reasons
not setuid on SuSE Linux systems as it's IIRC not on FreeBSD systems,
too. But to get AMaViS-Perl to work with qmail it has to be setuid)
