# Hello -
# 
# [I'm using majordomo-1.92 and perl-4.036 on a stock NetBSD-0.9 '486 box.]
# 
# The "-C" option in both resend and request-answer is being read as a small
# "-c" so the test for "-C" does not work.  I'm not a perl hacker, but I did
# have to change lines in each program as shown below to get them to work:
# 
# 		% diff resend~ resend
# 		49c49
# 		< if ($ARGV[0] eq "-C") {
# 		---
# 		> if ($ARGV[0] eq "-c") {
# 
# Anyone else see this?  Is there something I'm doing wrong?
# 
# Background:  the reason I need to use an alternate config file is because I
# have several domain names registered on my machine, and different lists are
# on different virtual domains, so I use different values for $whereami.

This is a Sendmail "feature".  Case is not preserved by sendmail
unless the "u" flag is not set in the "F=" field of the "Mprog" mailer
in your sendmail.cf file.  This means that, if a message gets queued,
the "destination address" (in this case, the "resend" pipe and its
arguments) might get converted to all-lower-case, converting the "-C"
to a "-c".
