In many versions of mail, the environment variable is $sendmail (lower
case) rather than $SENDMAIL. Also, the existing mail delivery program
may not be /usr/lib/sendmail; on my system it is "/bin/mail".
It may be more convenient to put a
set sendmail=$HOME/mysendmail
command in your .mailrc file. If you want everyone on the system to
use the local version of sendmail, put the set command in the global
mail rc file. (Berkeley /usr/lib/Mail.rc, SysV /usr/lib/mailx/mailx.rc).
