diff man/masqmail.8 @ 276:1abc1faeb45d
for -t cmdline args are now added to the rcpt list instead of substracted
Please read the diff and the section about -t in man/masqmail.8.
Masqmail's behavior had been like the one of exim/smail, now it's
similar to postfix.
Masqmail does it now the most simple way, regarding the code.
Also, addr args are always recipients, -t does not change their meaning.
-t makes the addrs from rcpt hdrs, rcpt addrs too.
It would have been logical too, to ignore the cmdline args,
in the sense of ``headers *instead of* args'' but none of the
popular MTAs does it that way and it would have been a bit more
complicated in the code.
Anyway, this is a corner-case that should better be avoided completely.
