That I would have thought.

I did

sendmail -v root < /tmp/dummy_file

or

sendmail -v myname@rl.ac.uk < /tmp/dummy_file

The message got sent and arrives, but in the To: field, it says "undisclosed recipients".

What is in the file dummy_file?

Try adding the line

To: foo

at the start of it

The header To: is something that should be a part of your email data, it isn't something sendmail or postfix adds

Or use the mail command: mail root < /tmp/dummy_file It will add the To: header. Note: the recipient(s) listed for the sendmail command go in the message envelope, this is separate from the To: header. If there is not To: header, Postfix will add "To: undisclosed recipients". No To: header is useful for sending to a bunch of people at once without disclosing them all to each other. Kind of like Bcc: with no To:. HTH, Jeffrey

Also -please- do not top post

I'd suggest that when you make this request, you explain what top-posting is. Not all top-posters know. Also, some mailers (mainly Microsoft ones, I think) attach the original message without even displaying it in the composition window. You can defeat that behavior, but you have to know that it's necessary in order to do so. Paul

exactly! hehehe B-) On Thursday 10 March 2005 11:22 am, Jerry Feldman wrote:

Additionally, many lists like top-posting. There are some pros and cons.

according to the text

9. Your own text should be below the (part of the) quote that it is an answer to. An English "Message Editing and Quoting Guide (with Examples)" can be found here:

http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/mail/editing.html

"top posting" and "bottom posting" are discouraged. The link for editing and quoting doesn't exist. All in all, this one looks a lot more reasonable. B-)
