/usr/sbin/sendmail is the 'wrapper' for email submissions, but it does not accept a subject on the command line (eg: -s "this is the subject") the way the sendmail does:
Hobbit doesn't invoke sendmail directly, at least not with the default configuration. Hobbit calls the command defined via the MAIL and MAILC settings in hobbitserver.cfg to send e-mail, this is typically the "mail" or "mailx" programs.
Right. I should have mentioned that I had already edited that file. Sorry for not being as complete as I normally try to be when describing an issue.
They in turn will probably invoke sendmail. However, if running the standard "mail" utility fails, then IMNSHO you have more severe mail problems with your setup than just Hobbit.
I hear you... But due to my lacking description of the problem, I may have led you to think more is wrong than actually is. :)
You should probably look at writing a small wrapper around your mail system that support sending e-mail with a subject on the command line, and then point the MAIL and MAILC settings in Hobbit to that wrapper.
Yes, thank you. That was pointed out to me in a recent post, and I just finished a custom script. Also, it looks like installing the mailx package on top of the nullmailer package seems to also be an option from a previous post.
Thanks again.
