how to configure mail command to use a specific mail server?

[Adam Miller]

I wrote a small python script that satifies this need because there was a
case where I needed similar functionality. I can't promise much and its
somewhat primitive but if you have requests for change in functionality I
will gladly make changes. I meant to actually implement most of the features
of the mail command and then package and release the code/script but never
got around to it. Maybe this will jump start that :)
