Oh really?  So the old 'mail' works as well eh?  (Yes, I had diverted sendmail and that
was working fine).

I wonder why the Install tells you to replace mail then...?

  Oh, yes you are right.  When I originally installed qmail, I didn't know which

  compatible (I tested it).

 I use mail all the time. It invokes sendmail, but qmail has a sendmail
 wrapper. You need to:

 ln -sf /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/bin/sendmail
 ln -sf /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

 and sometimes also:
 ln -sf /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail

 mail will now happily work with qmail instead and:

 mail -s 'about something' someone  message

 will work.

Depends on the version of Unix you're using.  Basically, he punted and told 
you to always replace it even though many people won't need to.
