The send-ifmail script distributed in ifmail packages, when caleld whith no
parameters, only process sites f#.n# and p#.f#.n#, not sites using zone or
domain, like f2219.n293.z2.fidonet.org for exemple.
Also it defines a directory name (/usr/spool/news/out.going) instead of
searching its value in the innshellvars file.
There is a patch to improve it:
