The error I get back with that command is:

usage: binmail [-epqbhr] [-f file]
or binmail [-d] [-r name] [-h N] user ...

It works if I replace "mail" with "Mail". This may be more of a peculiarity of
our system than a generic alpha thing... but you could let the script have a second
go with "Mail" if the first send fails, perhaps?
