Tillmann, 
In comp.unix.xenix you write:

I got it working on my SCO Xenix/286 2.2.1 system a couple weeks ago.
You need a working recmail, which is a filter to mail a message for
which the header has already been created.  There is one included
with the Usenet B news 2.11 software which needs a little configuration
before it will run. 

My setup is slightly different from stock SCO/Xenix, as I have Smail 2.5
intalled, replacing /usr/bin/rmail so that it will understand the
Internet domain syntax. 

All I needed to do was to change the line 

    #define MAILER "/bin/mail"

in recmail.c to the following: 

    #define MAILER "/usr/bin/rmail"

Hope this helps!
