So, whats going on ?
It easy.
Ih you send the written messages with
sendmail -t
it will read the To: headers from the file and all ist working fine,
but if you use
sendmail -oi -f "$MAILFROM" "$MAILTO"
it sucks. Why:
Because the script '/etc/weekly/popularity-contest' produce this line:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
which is not valid. If you NOT quote the $MAILTO, it works as expected:
sendmail -oi -f "$MAILFROM" $MAILTO
