This will no longer work. The meaning of `--' has been changed by
https://www.debian.org/security/2014/dsa-3104

Now everything after `--' is treated as recipient e-mail address that
should not be involved in any variable substitution, i.e. should be
passed as-is to sendmail (for example because the mailx command is
called by some CGI script, which gets e-mail address from untrusted users).

> Sendmail arguments: "send-mail" "-i" "--" "-v" "t...@exemple.com"

This is now the expected behavior.
If you need to pass any flags to your MTA (exim), just call sendmail
command directly instead of using mailx.

Sorry for the inconveniance the change has caused to you.

Regards,
robert
