Unix mail program doesn't do it that way. It invokes sendmail to do
the dirty work. Here is strace output on /bin/mail:
execve("/usr/sbin/sendmail", ["send-mail", "-i",
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"], [/* 49 vars */]) = 0
This might not be what you want.
Of course, it would be easy to hack up a script in bash (using netcat)
or perl (many modules that implement SMTP). You might want to have a
routine that would determine the MXes for a domain, maybe use host(1)?

On redhat (and other RPM based) systems, you can find out the source
RPM name by:
rpm -q --qf '%{SOURCERPM}\n' -f /bin/mail
Binand
