You're correct. I simplified it to make it better understandable. The
real call is:
.... | mutt -d4 -e "set sendmail=\"script.sh --\"" ... | sendmail -t
and script.sh which is called by mutt as you say correctly as
script.sh -- some@zone
just ignores the argument 'some@zone' and calls 'cat --' because
the mailaddr some@zone comes to the real sendmail in STDIN as
To: some@zone
Subject: ...
...
All the above is done within a shellscript with a lot of options to
provide mail as UTF-8 text or HTML and attachments etc. and mutt makes of all
the args a well formatted mail with correct headers and attachments to be
piped at the end to sendmail. This master script is called from our
application servers to send mails to library patrons about fees or books to
be returned in time, or to book vendors as orders etc. And mutt does
a real nice job here for all our needs.
And as I said, all is working fine, i.e. the mails get sent fine, the
only problem is this message spilt out by mutt about mail not sent.
I will nail this down, it will only take some time, and I feel that it
has todo with the handling on SIGCHLD which is set by the application
server which calls the master script perhaps to wrong state. Needs some
more debugging. Mutt itself isn't the culprit perhaps.
