Hmmmm...

   Why do I need to set an environmental variable when I should be able
to get the same result by specifying an alternate config directory via

sendmail -C/etc/postfix-www (my alternate config directory)

If I set up my main.cf file in this directory (I think I did), then
why doesn't postfix see my alternate alias files?

BTW, what is the direct way of sending email with postfix via command-line,
without using a mailer program, analogous to

sendmail -C alternate.cf -f sender recipient < mail_file

Is this direct method allowed in postfix?
