-X

Synopsis

The -X command-line switch tells sendmail to open the file whose name is the next following argument and to append both sides of all SMTP transactions to that file. The -X command-line switch is described in full in Section 14.2.

Note that this -X command-line switch causes sendmail to drop special privileges when run by an ordinary user.
