Hope this clear to you..
The thread opener said the send mail functionality works, so there is no need for another way of sending mail (this is in fact what you have described).

Further, using sendmail directly is a very bad practice. Save for testing the mail system upon installation it is clearly to be avoided. Use a mail client if you want client functionality and leave the daemon alone, it has other work to do.

I hope this helps.

mlmmj-process(1)					      General Commands Manual						  mlmmj-process(1)

NAME
mlmmj-process - process mail for an mlmmj managed mailinglist SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-process -L /path/to/list -m /path/to/mail [-h] [-P] [-V] -h: This help -L: Full path to list directory -m: Full path to mail file -P: Don't execute mlmmj-send (debugging only) -V: Print version DESCRIPTION
This is the binary which processes a mail. Examples of what such processing is: o Access control Using the access rules specified in <listdir>/control/access to perform access control to the list. This is done before headers are stripped, so one can create allow rules based on headers that are later stripped. o Header stripping Headers specified in <listdir>/control/delheaders are deleted from the mail. o Header addition Headers specified in <listdir>/control/customheaders are added to the mail. This could be headers like List-ID: or Reply-To: o List control In case there's a mail with a recipient delimiter it's not a regular list mail. Processing of these happens in mlmmj-receive as well. Examples of such are subscription requests, mails to owner etc. It will base it's recipient delimiter detection on the Delivered-To: header if present. If not, the To: header is used. o Moderation If the list is moderated, it will happen in mlmmj-process. When processing is done, it will invoke the needed binary according to whatever mail it is. If it's a subscription request it will invoke mlmmj-sub, if it's a regular list mail it will invoke mlmmj-send. SEE ALSO
The file TUNABLES from the mlmmj source distribution or in the documentation directory of the operating system distribution. AUTHORS
