This must be a recurring question, so if there is a reference to send me
to, then please do.  I want to install smail 2.5 on my Xenix 386 system.
 I have the sources for smail 2.5 and pathalias.  I assume that I pretty
much follow the instructions for installation on a System V/no sendmail
system, but it there anything particular to Xenix that I should watch
for?  In particular, do I treat xenix execmail as if were the SysV
rmail?

I have been through the documentation, the nutshell guides and the xenix
manuals, but now I need advice from those who gone before.  You can
e-mail responses and I will post a summary of the steps needed to
install smail on Xenix for others.
