     mini_sendmail - accept email on behalf of real sendmail

                   version 1.3.7 of 03jul2014

mini_sendmail reads its standard input up to an end-of-file and

sends a copy of the message found there to all of the addresses

listed.  The message is sent by connecting to a local SMTP server.

This means mini_sendmail can be used to send email from inside a

chroot(2) area.

See the manual entry for more details.

    Makefile		guess

    mini_sendmail.c	source file

To build: If you're on a SysV-like machine (which includes old Linux systems

but not new Linux systems), edit the Makefile and uncomment the SYSV_LIBS

line.  Otherwise, just do a make.

After it's built, you must test it to make sure your local sendmail

daemon is (a) running and (b) accepting local mail for delivery

elsewhere.  Here's what a successful test run might look like:

    % echo 'Subject: test' | ./mini_sendmail -v [email protected]

    <<<< 220 gate.acme.com ESMTP Sendmail; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 17:17:37 -0800 (PST)

    >>>> HELO localhost

    <<<< 250 gate.acme.com Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you

    >>>> MAIL FROM:

    <<<< 250 ... Sender ok

    >>>> RCPT TO:

    <<<< 250 ... Recipient ok

    >>>> DATA

    <<<< 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself

    <<<< 250 RAA58877 Message accepted for delivery

    >>>> QUIT

    <<<< 221 gate.acme.com closing connection

    % 

And here's an unsuccessful run where there's no local sendmail

daemon running:

    % echo 'Subject: test' | ./mini_sendmail -v [email protected]

    ./mini_sendmail: connect: Connection refused

    %
