'-t'

I use the following (run as root):

    formail -A 'X-Resent-By: postmaster@wave.co.nz' -i "To: someaccount@anotherserver.com" -R Cc: Old-Cc: -R Bcc: Old-Bcc: -s /usr/lib/sendmail -t < mailbox

This munges the Cc and Bcc headers so that sendmail won't send copies
to the Cc and Bcc recipients (not that there should be any Bcc headers
in a mailbox ...) and also adds a X-Resent-By header.

Mark.
