This is correct.
Also, the code provided writes to file all the stuff it receives via its
command line arguments vector, which is not the right thing to do if (as
is more likely) sendmail passes the mail text via standard input, in
which case you have to rewrite your program such as follows:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *out;
size_t len = 0;
char *line = NULL;
out = fopen("/tmp/output.txt", "w");
if (!out) abort();
while (getline(&line, &len, stdin) != -1)
fprintf(out, "%s", line);
fclose(out);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
