Stock SCO Xenix's mail transport agent is /usr/lib/mail/execmail.
What you need to do is tell Elm that the mailer is /usr/lib/mail/execmail,
not /bin/rmail or /usr/bin/rmail.  This can be done in configure.

Also be aware that Elm will place multiple addresses in one command and
execmail nor rmail can handle that.  What you need instead is either
a shell script to split the addresses up with a for loop, or to use
smail.  Smail will solve both problems, the anon. problem and the
multiple addresses problem.
