Re: [nmh-workers] mts.conf relative sendmail option

[Cyber]

Hi,

It does not recurse because the file is called sendmaill with double ll.

with 
sendmail: sendmail
in my mts.conf

I get the error
post: can't exec sendmail: No such file or directory

But with
sendmail: /home/cyber/.local/bin/sendmaill
in my mts.conf it works properly. even though sendmaill is nothing but:
#!/bin/sh

sendmail "$@
