Don't do this!  You do *not* want to pull recipients from message
headers, because you might send the message to the wrong people, or
worse, to off-site people.

The correct invocation is the rather more complicated:

/use/sbin/sendmail -f `grep '^S' COMMANDS | sed -e 's/^S//'` \
     `grep '^R' COMMANDS | sed -e 's/^R//'` < INPUTMSG

Make sure you get the `left` and 'right' quotes correct.

Please see the mimedefang-protocol man page to understand the above
command line.
