Maybe I wasn't clear. That error was generated, but the exit status was
normal. Here's the source code, w/the debug message:
pid_t pidReturned = waitpid(m_pidSendMail, &status, 0);
if (pidReturned == -1) {
g_pLog->LogLine("Error calling waitpid() on the sendmail
process", true);
bSuccess = false;
}
else {
m_pidSendMail = -1;
bool bTerminatedNormally = WIFEXITED(status);
g_pLog->LogLine("The exit status was normal: " +
LtoA(bTerminatedNormally) + " and the exit code: " + LtoA(status));
The debug message generated was:
The exit status was normal: 1 and the exit code: 0
And finally, what was sent to the standard error:
sendmail: warning: -f option specified malformed sender: angus uducat.com
sendmail: fatal: No recipient addresses found in message header
The Postfix I'm using is the rpm that comes with SLE 10:
postfix-2.2.9-10.23. If what you say is correct, then this sendmail
operation is buggy.
