  I had the same problem.  It looks like when the pipe was opened to the
  sendmail process under SCGI stdin wasn't attached to the process opened by
  the pipe.  (I ran a test where I called cat - > /tmp/foo instead of
  sendmail and /tmp/foo was empty.)

  I ended up rewriting the mail_erorr function.  I opted to use the smtplib
  from the Python library rather than the sendmail stuff in Quixote.  I could
  have used the Quixote sendmail stuff, but it seems like it is kind of dated
  since Python offers the same functionality now -- I'm guessing it wasn't
  there when Quixote was first implemented.

  I've attached patches against both Quixote 0.6.1 and the 20031008 snapshot.
