I don't have a strong opinion on this.  I think this at least is missing
the sendmail.8 bits though; but then if i go read postfix' sendmail(8)
(or at least the version of the manpage available at man.archlinux.org)
the description for -bv seems slightly different than what your diff does:

	-bv
	Do not collect or deliver a message. Instead, send an email
	report after verifying each recipient address. This is useful for
	testing address rewriting and routing configurations

Have to admit that I kind of agree with what deraadt@ said in the other
thread, if you typo the mail you don't get deliveries, even if i also
see mvs@ point in "sendmail: command failed" not being particularly
enlightening.

Since sendmail just exit with a nonzero exit status, we maybe can get
away without -bv and you could just log something like "calendar: failed
to send mail to $ADDRESS" in that case.
