The sendmail command is a generic interface to various mail transfer agents (MTAs), such as
Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, Qmail, etc. The sendmail command is used to send emails from the
command line or from other programs that need to deliver emails. The sendmail command accepts
various flags and parameters to specify the sender, recipient, subject, body, and attachments of the
email. The sendmail command also reads the standard input for the email content if no file is
specified. The sendmail command is part of the sendmail package, which is the original and most
widely used MTA for Unix-like systems. However, other MTAs, such as Postfix and Exim, also provide
a sendmail command for compatibility reasons. The sendmail command provided by these MTAs
may have slightly different syntax and options, but they all support the basic functionality of sending
emails. Therefore, the statement that all MTAs, including Postfix and Exim, provide a sendmail
command is true123.
The other statements are false. The sendmail command does not need to be run periodically by the
cron daemon, as it is not a daemon itself, but a command-line tool. The sendmail command does not
print the MTA’s queue history, but rather sends the email to the MTA for delivery. The sendmail
command is not only available when the sendmail MTA is installed, but also when other MTAs that
provide a sendmail command are installed. Reference: 1: Linux Sendmail Command Help and
