From: Steven List @ Benetics Corporation (luke!steven)
The following shar file contains the man page and source for a smarter
mailer interface for use with networks. It is based (as the copyright
indicates) on the program nmail by Kim Chr. Madsen (diku!kimcm). The
program just didn't quite do it as it was.
The changes include allowing multiple destinations of various forms
rather than the node and recipient arguments of the original. Also, I
wrote the man page.
This program works fine with Rnmail, Pnews, rn, readnews, and postnews.
That is, it works with recmail! Any comments would be welcome, since
this is my first posting to the net. This little goodie has allowed us
here to make full use of the output of pathalias and to feel that we're
becoming a real part of the network.

X.SH NAME
Xsmail - send mail using various addressing schemes
X.SH SYNOPSIS
Xsmail [ -d ] [ -m \fIaltmailer\fR ] [ -p \fIaltpathdb\fR ]
X.br
X \fIdestination\fR...
X.SH DESCRIPTION
XSmail is a veneer over the standard /bin/mail program found in UNIX
XSystem III systems. It accepts destination specifications in several
Xdifferent formats, allowing its use between various mail packages and
Xthe mailer.
X.SS Options
X.IP "-d" 16
XThe -d option turns on the limited debugging facility built into the
Xmailer. In debug mode, the mailer does not actually mail anything, but
Xtells you what it would do if it did do it.
X.IP "-m \fIaltmailer\fR" 16
XThe -m option specifies an optional mailer to use. This supersedes the
Xdefault mailer in the program ("/bin/mail") and the
Xenvironment variable MAILER. The environment variable MAILER may be
Xused to define an alternate mailer in the absence of the -m option.
X.IP "" 16
XThis option also provides some means of debugging. The mailer may be
Xdefined to be /bin/echo or some other program or shell script.
X.IP "-p \fIaltpathdb\fR" 16
XThe -p option allows the specification of an alternate path file. The
Xdefault path file is "/usr/lib/uucp/paths". The path file is the output
Xof program pathalias (produced by Peter Honeyman), and contains one
Xentry for each known node on the network.
X.SS Arguments
X.IP \fIdestination\fR 16
XThe destination(s) specified may take one of the following forms:
X.RS 22
X.P
Xperson
X.P
Xnode![node!...]person
X.P
Xperson at node
X.P
Xnode![node!...]person at node
X.P
Xperson at node.NET
X.P
Xnode![node!...]person at node.NET
X.RE
X.IP "" 16
Xwhere node is a system node name on the network and person is the login
Xname of the addressee. 256 destinations may be specified.
XThe mail program will be invoked only once for all destinations
Xspecified.
X.SH FILES
X.IP "/usr/lib/uucp/paths" 20
XPath file produced by pathalias.
X.SH "SEE ALSO"
Xpathalias(1), Pnews(1), Rnmail(1), rn(1), postnews(1), readnews(1)
