Sendmail issue

[McDougall, Marshall (FSH)]

I'd guess you've never used sendmail as your *user* agent.  It works just
fine and I use it on all my servers for automated scripts. These particular
servers are just not doing what I want.

sendmail is an MTA (mail *transport* agent), not a MUA (mail *user* 
agent).  it sounds like you're using "[/bin/]mail" as your MUA, and 
as such your "mail completion" issues are with it, not sendmail.

your ctrl-D issues sounds a bit like a keyboard mapping problem.
