I've mentioned this here before, so I'll be brief this time to avoid needless
repetition.

I wrote my own mail11/mail11d to get around some of the many problems present
in the gateway programs supplied by Digital in various versions of 
DECnet-Ultrix.  It is available by anonymous ftp to cs.utk.edu (128.169.201.1)
directory readonly/mail11, files mail11.shar and mail11d.shar .
Or if you don't have ftp access, send mail to moore@cs.utk.edu and I'll mail
them to you.

In particular, my mail11 program retains the old /usr/bin/mail11 interface,
so it would probably drop right in to your mail configuration.  Eventually
I'll build in an SMTP interface (using real SMTP and clever tricks instead 
of an extended version of SMTP like mail11v3 uses.)
