I run qmail on Slackware 7.1 as well. On my system /bin/mail,
/bin/Mail and /bin/mailx are all symbolic links to /usr/bin/mail. The
difference here may be that I never install the sendmail packages. At
any rate I always just leave the above 4 links/files alone since
/usr/bin/mail is a usable mailer.
