asterisk users - Jul 2018 - Passing arguments to the 'mailcmd' option in voicemail.conf

All;

    I'd like to change the default command that is used to send email when a
person has a new voicemail. I believe that's set in voicemail.conf as the
'mailcmd' option. The default is to use the /usr/sbin/sendmail -t
command. I
wrote a quick test script to see what arguments are passed to the command
(@ARGV), but no arguments were sent. So my question is this, how are
arguments sent to the 'mailcmd' command?

Thanks in Advance;

John V.
