	The script is written for BSD machines, and thus it uses
		echo -n "prefixstring: "
	to output things without trailing newline..
	To alter it for Solaris (SysV) you need to write it as:
		echo "prefixstring: \c"

	(I know, I just fought with that phenomena, and my thick skull
	 didn't get it at first..)

	That routing might be of trouble..  Well, not so sure, as
	I don't use that mechanism.

	What does following command report ?
		Mail -v junk@inews.ke.sanet.sk
		...
	(that is, the verbose trace)
