Question about using sqwebmail sendit.sh with postfix #42

@sorenstoutner

Description

@sorenstoutner

A user submitted a Debian bug report about using sendit.sh with postfix.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=893838

sendit.sh contains the following lines by default:

# exec /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -f "$1"
exec @mailer@ $DSN -f "$1"

To work with postfix, this user needs to comment out the last line and uncomment the first line.

exec /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -f "$1"

# exec /usr/sbin/sendmail $DSN -f "$1"

Could you please help me to understand the different between these two lines? Particularly, would it cause any problems for other MTAs if Debian were to ship the first line uncommented by default?
