[RndTbl] Sendmail question

[Gilbert Detillieux]

You could probably use sendmail's "-t" option, to resend to all 
recipients shown in the mail headers.  Or, if there's just the one 
recipient, you can always just explicitly supply them as a command line 
argument.

If the saved mail message has the mbox-style one-line mail header, you'd 
want to strip that off first...

	tail -n +2 mbox | sendmail -t

Check your man page, though, in case Solaris has some alternative form 
of sendmail command installed.

Also, sendmail may give some kind of warning if you use the "-t" option 
and you're not invoking this as a user it considers trusted (and that is 
configuration dependent).
