In REMOVE.binmail:
3. If the binmail binary was /bin/mail, make sure that ``mail'' still
invokes a usable mailer. Under SVR4 you may want to link mail to
mailx.
What is the purpose of this?
I do know I have some scripts that invoke "mail" and there is no mailx
to use as an alternative. If the purpose is to inject mail, is there
something qithin qmail that can be used for such purposes?
The "mail" program has also be useful for cases of slightly corrupt
mailboxes which causes elm to croak. If I leave /bin/mail executeable
somewhere hidden, would it still work OK for users not switched to
maildir (as long as I don't try to send mail with it)?
