  46 &gt;<i> I've implemented this before in two IRC-based projects I've done.
  47 </I>&gt;<i>
  48 </I>&gt;<i> Your best bet is to use popen(3) to open sendmail, and then just
  49 </I>&gt;<i> write the email to the given pipe.  This has it's advantages because:
  50 </I>&gt;<i>
  51 </I>&gt;<i> a) You don't have to read() from the pipe.
  52 </I>&gt;<i> b) You don't have to try to send email again if the first one
  53 </I>&gt;<i> bounces.
  54 </I>&gt;<i> c) Generally most popular MTA's (Qmail is a definite one) include
  55 </I>&gt;<i> a drop-in sendmail replacement, OR they just leave sendmail alone.
  56 </I>&gt;<i> Sendmail is both a client and server, and there is no reason it can't be
  57 </I>&gt;<i> left alone just to be used to pipe mail into.
  58 </I>&gt;<i>
  59 </I>&gt;<i> Regards,
  60 </I>&gt;<i>
  61 </I>&gt;<i> Jonathan George, CEO
  62 </I>&gt;<i> MultiList Central
  63 </I>&gt;<i> www.MultiListCentral.com
  64 </I>&gt;<i>
  65 </I>&gt;<i> |&gt; .. where &gt;&gt;&gt; precedes a line sent by the server, and &lt;&lt;&lt; precedes one
  66 </I>sent by
  67 &gt;<i> |&gt; the client.  Note the blank line separating the Subject: header from
  68 </I>the
  69 &gt;<i> |&gt; message body.  Completely RFC compliant and easy to implement.  Also
  70 </I>notice my
  71 &gt;<i> |&gt; MTA (in the 'greeting' line) is not Sendmail, but another popular
  72 </I>alternative
  73 &gt;<i> |&gt; called Exim.  No problem if the mail-sending routines are implemented
  74 </I>in &quot;SMTP
  75 &gt;<i> |&gt; client&quot; form but a potential PITA [pain in the a**] if you wanted to
  76 </I>use
  77 &gt;<i> |&gt; command-line sending.  Obviously some error-handling must be built in
  78 </I>&gt;<i> |&gt; (500-series numbers in particular mean a rejected delivery) but this is
  79 </I>pretty
  80 &gt;<i> |&gt; trivial.
  81 </I>&gt;<i> |
  82 </I>&gt;<i> |I can see that then, thank you for clearing that up :)
