    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.6
    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/mailx 1003
    Problem Summary TSD4C.00202 This test may fail on implementations where mailx returns non-zero but still creates the mail_out_1 file as required.
    Problem Text
    The XPG4 XCU specification allows mailx processing to continue if a
    error is encountered in the .mailrc file, mailx must give a non-zero
    exit status when mailx is exited. This assertion has no provision to
    handle implementations that continue processing after errors in the
    .mailrc file. From mailx_07.sh the code for tp1003 is below. As can be
    seen, if mailx returns non-zero the code marked (1 is skipped. This
    causes the test result to be UNREPORTED because no SetResult
    statement gets executed.

    for cmd in 'Copy 1' 'fo 1' 'F 1'
    do
    # Test with record before invalid command.
    rm -f mailx_out_1
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    SetResult $TET_UNRESOLVED "Command failed: 'rm -f mailx_out_1'"
    return
    fi

    setmailrc 'set record=mailx_out_1' "${cmd}"
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    SetResult $TET_UNRESOLVED "Command failed: 'setmailrc 'set record=ma
    ilx_out_1' \"${cmd}\"'"
    return
    fi
