Well, I would have said "you can use the flags" rather than "you should use
the flags", but yes.

What's that do? Something about emailing the originator on any problems?

While MBM answered your question, Dave, I'd like to point out that you could
have found out yourself with a bit more RTFM'ing :)
: and -odq says to put the message into the queue. This last
: option means your message won't be immediately delivered, so
: leave it out if you want immediate delivery.
(From `perldoc -q "send mail"` on Perl v5.6.0, but I'm fairly certain that
passage was in the 5.005_03 docs as well.)
Cheers,
