Ouch!  I'm surprised this works.  The command line arguments which execmail
supports are not compatible with smail.  For example, the "-f sender"
option which mail passes to execmail is interpreted totally wrong by
smail.  If you'd like a patch which lets smail2.5 handle the execmail
command line arguments, drop me a line.
