As Chris points out, MAILX.HPBIN.SYS is rather simple-minded.  But MAILX is
part of FOS, not Sendmail/iX.

To send e-mail directly using just the stuff that comes with Sendmail/iX, you
would invoke the /SENDMAIL/PUB/SENDMAIL program with stdin redirected to the
fully composed (headers+body) message that you want to queue for sending.

For an example CI command file that does this, please see:
