Sendmail command line examples please.


Still a newbie here.
Has anyone got any command line examples of the sendmail function ?
I have postfix setup under Mandrake 9.2, mozilla mail works fine so I guess
there is not too much wrong with postfix. However I have a PHP app that uses
the sendmail function. I am trying isolate if I have a problem with email setup
or the PHP side of things. I have looked at the man page for sendmail and trolled
around sendmail and postfix sites. I have tried a few guesses at what a manual
sendmail -q user@domian might look like , but it doesn't work. So what should
it look like ? I guess someone must have done this to test a new sendmail setup
but I haven't been able to find it. Any good examples or URL's please.
