From my quick look at the information files that come with the "smail"
mailer (available from the "mod.sources" archive), the "high-powered gurus"
do seem to have thought about that.  It comes with a "front-end" to
"/bin/mail"; you move "/bin/mail" to "/bin/lmail", and the new "/bin/mail"
will either runs "/bin/lmail" if you are asking it to read your mail, or
"/bin/rmail" (a link to "smail") if you are asking it to send mail.  It
doesn't seem to require any changes to UUCP, and it doesn't require you to
have "sendmail", although it will work with "sendmail".

A little less flamage would seem to be in order.
