AIX 2.1.2 has no sendmail command; instead, it has mail (which can be used
*only* to send a message to a user on the local machine), and netmail (which can
be used *only* to send a message to a user on a remote machine, and which
doesn't seem to be able to handle uucp paths.)  Needless to say, this situation
makes it very difficult to use any mail handling system that tries to call a
single mailer for either local or remote email.

Does anybody out there have a version of sendmail (or some reasonable facsimile
thereof) that would get around this problem?
