If you report a problem, please be sure to report the exact error
message. In this case, the error message is:

    sendmail: fatal: cannot handle command-line recipients with -t

As the error message says, the Postfix sendmail program will not
accept recipients on the command line when the -t command-line
option is present.

With older sendmail program, "-t" means extract recipients from
the message headers and delete any recipients that are also found
on the command line.

With later sendmail versions, "-t" means means extract recipients
from the message headers. Presumably, it adds them to any recipients
specified on the command line.

So, it is safer to avoid programs that specify "-t" and recipients
on the command line.
