Sendmail is only setting one env variable (name forgotten but its value is "sendmail").

The wrapper is only about 25 lines of c code. Very straight forward once you know HOME has to be set. That should be included in the documentation rather than presuming its set magically by something else. > _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
