I can't tell you exactly how I did it, but I did install smail
2.5 and elm on SCO Unix.  I did have to rip out the mail that
was there (good grief!  what is that anyway?) and "borrow" the
xenix local mailer (mail and execmail).  Basically, I emulated
the mail system as it's set up on Xenix and smail (and elm) were
happy.
