I can't say if you *will*, but you *may* :-). Some MTAs enforce RFC-822 conformance rather strictly, and will refuse messages which don't have at least one of `To:', `CC:', and `BCC:'. Some versions of PP, for instance, do this by default, although they can be (and usually are, eventually) configured not to do so. There's a simple fix: include a `To:' field. For example, instead of $ /usr/lib/sendmail user@dom.ain foo use $ /usr/lib/sendmail user@dom.ain <<EOT To: user@dom.ain foo You might also want to look at the `-t' switch.
