Under a year ago the problem was present. In a message dated 10 Apr 2002
I read following (sent from GeCAD guy in response to my problem report):

    Yes...actually after the scanning I execute 'sendmail -oMr mail-ok
    -i -t' and the mail file is injected in the sendmail stdin...so,
    after the scanning, the mail is sent only to the addresses which
    sendmail find in the mail header. With the new executable and
    modifications the addresses are concatenated: from mail header +
    from the command line.


That guy gave me so the URL to the new ravexim, but it was for linux
only, no OpenBSD version was available, so I found a better solution for
that problem.

Very nice! So RAV for Exim works like ravpostfix - it receives the
message by SMTP, scans it and then sends it by SMTP, right? If so, maybe
I should go back to ravexim. :)

Finally, let me say that your software is excellent.
