sending process source files

The sending process is sendmail, source code can be found using your package management system as found in your distribution or directly from http://www.sendmail.org/.
Test mailings are used to check if the mailling is correct (can be send more than once); world mailings can only be send once and is directed to all receivers of the mailing.

Thx for the fast answer but i think i was'n clear enought.
My question was from the programmer point of view not user.
I wanted to know something like:
Sending world mail procedure
- on a send mail click the mailGeneration method found in ***.java generates 3 files in the META diurectory
- pickdist.py fetches this files creates some objects which are send to xmlback (sorce files xmlback.c and xmlback.h)
- xmlback conects to sendmail
- sendmail sends the mails
I still want a more detailed description if is possible and the difference from world mails to test mails in the sending procedure

Ok, here is more detailed list:
- When you press the sending button in OpenEMM (for test and world mailings), an instance of org.agnitas.backend.MailgunImpl is started to write a XML file containing all relevant informations to create the mails.
- When sending world mailings, pickdist forwards the XML file to xmlback.
- When sending test mailings, the XML file is directly forwarded by the java process to xmlback.
- xmlback takes the XML file, parses it and writes sendmail spoolfiles directly in the spool directories handled by sendmail (ADMIN for test/admin mailings, QUEUE for world mailings.)
- the permanent running sendmail processes then pick up these spoolfiles and send them.
The sourcecode for the java part can be found in OpenEMM-5.0.1/src/java/*, the xmlback is located under OpenEMM-5.0.1/src/c/xmlback/*.
I hope this brings some light into darkness
