Man page for Sun Solaris 2.6, sendmail 8.6.

     -t             Read message for recipients.  To:,  Cc:,  and
                    Bcc: lines will be scanned for people to send
                    to.  The Bcc: line  will  be  deleted  before
                    transmission.   Any addresses in the argument
                    list will be suppressed.


I could then add a rant about the idiots that build the userspace for
solaris who manage to ship a fantastically out of date userspace with a
lousy packaging and wide open security holes. [The packaging rant is
because you cannot just remove sendmail by removing its package - its
spread over three different base packages which also contain gobs of
other useful stuff].

However the -t on sendmail is not so much a documented software feature
as a mess.
