mini_sendmail - accept email on behalf of real sendmail

mini_sendmail reads its standard input up to an end-of-file and sends a copy of the message found there to all of the addresses listed. The message is sent by connecting to a local SMTP server. This means mini_sendmail can be used to send email from inside a chroot(2) area.

New in version 1.3.5 of 16nov2003:
