Simple:
cat credit-info.txt | pgp -f -r mypubring@loclhost | sendmail cc@localhost
Here this will encrypt your credit infomation and mail it too who ever
your want.

You must use the sendmail.ct file and add nobody to it. Then nobody can
become anyone it wants. If you do not have a sendmail.ct file and or you
did not have it in your sendmail.cf file you will need to build a new
sendmail.mc file and add the feature(use_ct_file).
It should be /etc/sendmail.cf in a default install of Redhat. Just make
the file and put in nobody into it.
also check in /etc/mail this is a common place to put it.\
If you need more help ask me and I will send you a new sendmail.cf file to
do this for you.
Enjoy,
Richard
