sendmail - sendmail emulator interface for nullmailer

After parsing the command-line arguments, this program executes either nullmailer-inject or nullmailer-smtpd depending on the presence of the -bs option on the command-line. See the documentation for nullmailer-inject for details on how messages are reformatted and queued.
