You should leave -oi in.  You can have more than one -osomething.

FV> by the way, i haven't read much about sendmail options, what's -oee
FV> supposed to mean?

>From 1.94.1 majordomo.cf:

# Sendmail option -oi:  Do not take a . on a line by itself as the message
#                       terminator.
# Sendmail option -oee: Force sendmail to exit with a zero exit status if
#                       if it's not going to give useful information.

So basically -oee tells sendmail to stop spouting nonsense.  It will still
exit nonzero for big problems, but will try to mail everything else to the
list owner.  (Really, I tried to get the sendmail gurus to tell me why
sendmail likes to exit 64, and they didn't know.)
