I have SCO 2.2.something running on a 286, and, although it looks a LOT like
UCB's mailx, it doesn't support the set {sendmail delivermail} options of
mailx. It would appear that SCO saw fit to removed this (rather necessary)
feature. Why? I don't know - unless there was a conflict with the micnet
software.

At any rate, it would "shor be nice" if SCO would put it in, or at least
some functional equivalent.

BTW: If you have a mailx running on SCO, then you would put:

	set sendmail=/usr/bin/smail

in your .mailrc file to get domain name translations. At least, I think this
would work - I don't have the real mailx on my SCO system!
