   I'm pretty much at a brick wall on the mail -r option.  Every UNIX
   box I've tried mail -r from says "Address required after -r" but
   mine.  When mail comes in to my box it goes to the mlll queue and
   then it bounces back to the sender with a message "mail -r invalid
   option."

I'll assume that you're trying to use it to do local delivery, in
which case you should be using `mail.local' instead.
