Possible recursion.

Ensure that BSD, SENDMAIL and LMAIL are defined correctly in defs.h.  BSD
should be undefined, SENDMAIL should point wherever your copy of sendmail
lives and LMAIL should point to /bin/lmail.  'Make install' should rename
your old /bin/mail, if any, to /bin/lmail, and install something called
'binmail' instead of /bin/mail.

To my way of thinking, a Sys V/386 leaf site should run Smail 2.5 together
with Deliver 2.0.  Results are terrific.
