That's not the most efficient way of getting an error message I've ever seen,
but it will work.

command. If you need to use / in a sed substitution, try using ! to seperate
your sed elements instead. EG: "sed 's!.*!formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail...!'"
Now, addressing point 1, you might try something more along the lines of
(In Bash. Other shells have similar methods)
cd /var/mail
for a in *; do
formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail < $a
done
However I wouldn't take a spool file and just feed it back through sendmail.
At the very least move the old spool out of the way, lest you end up appending
to the file you're reading from and create a nasty loop.
