a friend of mine recently discovered this on his FreeBSD box
running qmail, using tin to send mail:
% /usr/sbin/sendmail -i user1,user2
To: user1, user2
testraw
^D
will cause qmail's sendmail to attempt to delivery to user
`user1,user2', not to the users user1 and user2, as does
sendmail. this was caused by /usr/bin/mail being run with
`user1,user2' as the recipients. `user1 user2' works just
fine for both sendmail programs.
i've seen this under FreeBSD, NetBSD, and BSD/OS.
