True, SCO's mail doesn't support set sendmail=, which makes it
useless for smail sites.  Since it didn't do a lot of other things
I needed as well, like displaying the From: address in the headers,
I've abandoned it in favor of mush (from comp.sources.unix).
Almost any of the other p.d. user agents would work as well, since they
typically handle RFC822 better than mailx, and can be configured to use
/bin/smail to deliver all mail.  (smail should use /usr/lib/mail/execmail.)

I've done that with mush, and recommend it.
