sendmail and recipient information

Luis Toro — Mon, 03 Jan 2005 17:11:32 GMT

Hello,
We're the following command to forward emails to Exchange users:

echo "Subject: Test \n\n email body" | sendmail -bm -F "Sender" recipient1 recipient2

The users receive the email, however the "To" field is blank, so recipient1 does not know that recipient2 was also sent the same email. Is there a sendmail flag I can modify to disclose all the recipients of an email ?
Thanks

Instead of sendmail, use mailx:
echo "Body of email"|mailx -s "subject" foo@bar.com -c "coo@far.bom boo@car.fom". Do the man page on mailx for details.

My personal favorite:
for i in foo@bar.com barf@oo.com car@foo.bom
do
echo "Body of email"|mailx -s "subject" $i
done

Thanks Chris.

That is the way I would have coded it initially. But given that these sendmail commands are in many scripts, I need a sendmail option (easier to make a global change using sed). In any event, in playing around with some flags, I found what I was looking for:
-ONoRecipientAction=add-to
