I had the same problem when compiling ELM.  The problem is that SCO doesn't
distribute MMDF with the correct file permissions.  Luckily, there is a 
program, /usr/mmdf/bin/checkup, which can be run and will tell you what is
wrong with you mail system.  Don't worry about the fact that "v6mail" is not
found; SCO doesn't include it, and it seems that you don't need it.  If you
make the permissions changes as outlined by the checkup script, you should be
ok.  Good luck!
