message--default-send-mail-function

message-send-mail-with-sendmail



Normally sendmail-program is set to a shell script which first
uses a tool called little brothers database to scrap email
addresses from outgoing messages and only then sends the
message.

But the problem remains, even if I erase the customization of
sendmail-program.



Thanks for your attention, Gregor
