Use the mailx package to provide /usr/bin/mail. It handles the "-s <Subject>" option, and simply hands the message off to the local MTA, which may be relay-only, if desired. My /usr/lib/sendmail and /usr/sbin/sendmail are provided by exim4-daemon-heavy, but neither accept the -s parameter. They will accept a complete mail on stdin if recipients are specified, but that's not all. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
