yes, and yes.   Sendmail believes that its mailers are intended to
deliver mail ... to do that, they have to be told the user name,
somewhere.   That means that either the $u macro is used on the
arg list (somewhere in the A= list) or sendmail will talk to
your program using SMTP (through a pipe).

Since you aren't using $u, sendmail is sitting there waiting
for your program to return the "220" welcome message.

Since your prog doesn't look at its args, just make it be A=error $u
