Look at the -f option to the mail command - see the manpage for mail(1) for more info. Hmmm.. I don't think that's quite what the OP wanted. One solution is to install the procmail port (ports: mail/procmail) which contains a stunningly useful utility called formail(1). Amongst formail's many talents is the ability to split up a mbox format mailbox into individual messages and pipe each into a program. So in order to resend all of the messages in your dead.letter you could try: % formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -oiee dead.letter Or to split up the dead.letter mailbox into individual numbered messages: % formail -s /bin/sh -c 'cat msg.$FILENO' dead.letter and you can pipe each message into sendmail as above to re-send it: % /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -oiee msg.999 Nb. be careful when doing this sort of thing, or you'll spray e-mails all over the place and make yourself quite unpopular.

Thanks. I had missed the -t option to sendmail.
