My sendmail doesn't work like that.

class=0, nrcpts=0,msgid=<200103060017.f260Ho803419@???>,
relay=reed@localhost
There is no corresponding f260JjA03427 log message; no "to=" entry. I am
not sure, but I think that "nrcpts=0" means number of recipients. The
message was not sent. The message is not in my mqueue; it is gone. When I
use the "-t" switch it works.
