This is never a good solution. What have you done with the real Suresh?

This is only a solution if you are prepared to queue mail before it gets
to the local SMTP port. The correct solution is that you call
/usr/{sbin,lib}/sendmail -oi -oem -bm -f <sender> <recipient> <recipient...>
and pipe it the message on standard input.

This is *ALWAYS* the correct solution for local delivery.
