As I said, the problem is when you issue the command

> echo "please dont reply this email" | mail -v -s 'this is a test mail' -r mailman at maillist.com mailman at maillist.com

and it results in the message being held for implicit destination, it is
because that particular 'mail' command is not adding the Subject: and
To: headers to the message it creates. I.e., it is not doing what the
usual 'mail' command does.

Try doing

> echo "please dont reply this email" | mailx -v -s 'this is a test mail' -r mailman at maillist.com mailman at maillist.com

instead. I.e. use mailx rather than mail. also, as I asked before,

What output do the following commands produce:

ls -l `which mail`

ls -l `which sendmail`

ls -l `which mailx`
