Has anybody had any experience with trying to get the XENIX /usr/bin/mail
to correctly recognize the (sort-of) documented alias files in 
/usr/lib/mail ?

I am trying to get it to do the following, since I currently don't have the time
to get a real mailer up and running:


uunet <-----> ahmcs <------> mq
	      ahmcs.mq.com   main.mq.com

uunet currently translates any mail headed for user@mq.com to ahmcs!user. Mail
addressed to user@main.mq.com, however, translates to ahmcs!main.mq.com!user.

What I want "mail" on the machine "ahmcs" to do is to translate the
"main.mq.com" to "mq". Thus, mail addressed to user@main.mq.com would turn into
uunet!ahmcs!mq!user.

It would seem like the following line in maliases would do the trick:

main.mq.com: mq!

except it doesn't.

Anybody have a clue as to how I can do this without resorting to a different
mailer ?
