DESCRIPTION
This program is a front end program for
nullmailer-inject
and
nullmailer-smtpd.
It is used by programs that expect a
sendmail
interface for sending email.
After parsing the command-line arguments, this program executes either
nullmailer-inject
or
nullmailer-smtpd
depending on the presence of the
-bs
option on the command-line.
See the documentation for
nullmailer-inject
for details on how messages are reformatted and queued.
