Synd., Cypress Creek, SC Lines: 23 I'm going to be setting up a new Xenix box soon and I'd like to avoid some of the hoops I have had to jump through before. What I am thinking of doing is just completely leaving the SCO mail stuff out during the installation and putting in a more unix like mail system, ie. no /usr/lib/mail/execmail or other wierdness. I run all of the other boxes with smail2.5 patched to understand xenix conventions. Does anyone have suggestions or meaningful experiences with a whole subsystem replacement? Should I get smail3.1 working? Or should I think about going full force and snarfing sendmail and rmail sources from uunet? This box will have only uucp connections for the near future, but might wind up with a thinwire on the back in a couple of years. Do I need to plan for this now or cross that bridge when I get there?
