/bin/mail should be a very different animal to smail/exim - its generally
a limited MTA which does delivery into the spool and can invoke the main
MTA. I believe that smail came with a *very* small /bin/mail replacement
but my memory may be faulty (most people would ignore it since its only
needed for a very few types of systems).

sendmail needs /bin/mail to do final mail delivery since it does not
tickle the spool itself. exim has not need for this. The other main use
for /bin/mail is script mail invocation - I tend to use a mail which can
do subjects for this...
