Some time ago, I posted a request for information on the SCO Unix
MMDF channel interface, because I need to customise it.  I've had
not replies, other than suggestions to get smail.  Doc's aren't good
either, but you do get the source, don't you. :-)

My main reason for tinkering with MMDF is to stop the uucp channel
"banging up" the address on everything that goes out via that
channel (all external mail).  Due to the lack of doc's, I can't even
define my own channels because the MMDF-channel interface is
ill-defined.

Where shall I go to seek wisdom?  (I can't afford a source
licence.)
