This is a simple drop-in replacement for sendmail to forward mail directly to an SMTP gateway. You should always specify your SMTP gateway using --mailer option (the best place to do so is in your configuration file).

Deliver mail via SMTP gateway at "mail.example.com", reading its contents for recipients of the message.

mail.remote --mailer smtp://mail.example.com -t

Deliver mail only to "devnull@foo.bar"

mail.remote --mailer smtp://mail.example.com devnull@foo.bar

Deliver mail to "devnull@foo.bar" as well as to the recipients specified in the message itself:

mail.remote --mailer smtp://mail.example.com -t devnull@foo.bar
