In the process of making mail work on my de-Yellow Paged 386i, I have
discovered that /usr/bin/mail  ("binmail") is brain-damaged to the point
of having an apparently hard-coded call to ypbind. BIND sendmail 5.61
seems to work fine, but all local delivery dies and things end up in
/var/spool/mqueue/dead.letter.

I need a substitute for binmail in source, 4.3 BSD -compatible. Does
anyone have such a beastie available i.e. a LocalMailer  ???
