Summary: The command mail Crashes Message-ID: <1991Jan30.173551.4547@midway.uchicago.edu> Date: 30 Jan 91 17:35:51 GMT Sender: kapil@zaphod.uchicago.edu Organization: Dept. of Mathematics, Univ. of Chicago Lines: 10 Can some kind soul tell me what to do to set up mail. After I got the system walking---i.e. a weak form of running :-), I tried to send mail to some of the other "non-users" (they aren't getting *near* the system till things are satisfactory!), and their system mailboxes acquired some non-ASCII junk! The manual is strangely silent on the point of what is necessary to set up the mailer-deamon process and this may be the problem. In any case HELP! Thanks in advance, Kapil.
