It seems the -o options are not supported by xmail, however
-i which is the exact same thing as -oi IS, and i find it other MTA's 
know about it, exim for one.

I have already created a build which has a workaround for this and 
converts -oi to -i, but instead of me creating a patch, wouldn't be 
easier for popularity-contest to change -oi to -i in the script ?

By me it's ok either way, i just want some second opinions..
