Hi,
  I have been getting around to installing a mailer. Smail has a good
reputation, could someone(s) in the know answer these questions please.

1. To run under Minix I only need uucp support, would smail version 2.x
   suffice ?

2. If I was to install smail on my Sun workstation, could it replace
   sendmail, or does it require sendmail to crack the headers (this
   was the case with 2.3 or earlier I believe).

3. From people in the don't-know, version 3.x seems to add large support
   for SMTP, is this the primary difference between 2.x and 3.x ??

4. Where do I obtain version 2.5 of smail, uunet only seems to have 2.3,
   and 3.19.

Thanks a lot if you can answer this,
Cheers, Des.
