If you decide to modify your 4.2 BSD rmail in a similar manner, beware
that it will probably not work. The line below from Rick's patch
is what aggravates an apparent bug in 4.2's sendmail.
> (void) sprintf(cmd, "exec %s -em -i -oMrUUCP -oMs%s.%s -f%s",
The two -oM options don't work; the second one is ignored. To fix this,
you could get rid of the -oMrUUCP, since (at least in my configuration)
it wasn't used anyway, or if you have source, you could modify sendmail's
main.c where it calls setoption for the -o flag. The line should
look like what follows.
setoption(p[2], &p[3], FALSE, p[2] == 'M' ? FALSE : TRUE);
This change prevents the sticky flag from being set when setting a macro
value from the command line. I made this change and all works fine.
