# Usage: send_mail
#
# This function serves as a simple replacement for sendmail as a client
# interface on those systems where it is not available.  It does assume
# that one can talk to an SMTP mailer on port 25 either on the local host
# or on the host specified by the MAILHOST environment variable.  If you
# have access to sendmail, it's better to use 'sendmail -t' instead of this
# script (which probably isn't as robust).
#
# Message is read from stdin, and headers are parsed to determine
# recipients.
