Add:
'\" t
to the first line of /opt/csw/share/man/man1/mairix.1

Eg follow:
$ head /usr/man/man1/unzip.1
...

and described in man(1):

  Preprocessing Nroff Manual Pages
     When formatting an nroff manual page, man examines the first
     line to determine whether it requires special processing. If
     the first line is a string of the form:

     '\" X

     where X is separated from the `"' by a single <SPACE> and
     consists of any combination of characters in the following
     list, man pipes its input to troff(1) or nroff(1) through
     the corresponding preprocessors.

     e eqn(1), or neqn for nroff

     r refer(1)

     t tbl(1)

     v vgrind(1)
