Actually, smail and elm work very nicely together. Elm is a Mail
User Agent (MUA) and smail is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), you
need one of each in order to send and receive mail. Elm can be
used instead of whatever you are currently using for a MUA, and
can be easily configured to work with smail. Hope this helps!
