I'm trying to resend some mail that was mistakenly delivered to

completely configured to deliver mail to spools in users' home

seem to find an example, and my own attempts have been unsuccessful.
This seems like it would be a reasonable approach but it doesn't
work, unfortunately:

straylight# formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail < /var/mail/mdb
Recipient names must be specified


cd /var/mail
/bin/ls | sed 's/.*/formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail & < &/' | sh


        Opss, I am sory!  It will be better if you do:

/bin/ls -d | sed -n 's,^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9]*$,formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail -i &
< &,p' | sh
