I have a system (Gentoo) running hobbit. I have installed the 4.20 with
the all-in-one patch.
The system is using nullmailer as my preferred MTA. It is a very small,
minimal qmail-like MTA run under daemontools.
/usr/sbin/sendmail is the 'wrapper' for email submissions, but it does
not accept a subject on the command line (eg: -s "this is the subject")
the way the sendmail does:
--[snip]--
# sendmail -h
sendmail: option -h requires a value.
usage: sendmail [flags] [recipients] <message
Nullmailer sendmail emulator
-B Ignored
-b Ignored
-C Ignored
-d Ignored
-F Set the full name of the sender
-f Set the envelope sender address
-h Ignored
-i Ignored
-L Ignored
-m Ignored
-N Ignored
-n Ignored
-O Ignored
-o Ignored
-p Ignored
-q Ignored
-R Ignored
-r An alternate and obsolete form of the -f flag
-t Read message for recipients
-U Ignored
-V Ignored
-v Ignored
-X Ignored
-h, --help Display this help and exit
--[snip]--
It requires that the email message being sent to (through?) it contains
a "Subject:" line in the header.
Without me changing to another MTA, is there a way to tell hobbit that
this is what I need? Changing would be OK if that was the only way forme
to get hobbit to send me notifications.
Thanks!
