I'd like to hear what you *do* use (instead of sendmail). I have just spent an intensive two weeks cobbling my mail system together, and "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" I have a TCP'ed bunch of machines with one talking UUCP to the world. 1) I started with vanilla SysVR3 binaries: useless of course. 2) My World-Gateway system (CTIX) has sendmail. I tried to get that to do something, really I did. (sendmail.cf is the machine language of the mailer world.) 3) For a long time I used smail2.5 and tried to ignore the fact that I couldn't get mail between the TCP'ed hosts and the World-Gateway machine. You see, smail doesn't know anything about ether and expects sendmail to be smart enough (if you choose to use it). 4) I am now running smail3.1. Gosh it's huge. But it has solved my more immediate problems. So if there is something small, simple and functional out there, I for one would like to hear about it! -- bmw@isgtec.uucp [ ..uunet!utai!lsuc!isgtec!bmw ] Bruce Walker
