SCO XENIX mail aliases

[Alan Mintz]

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 at mq.com to ahmcs!user. Mail
addressed to user at 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 at 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 ?
