That's nice. When will sendmail (or upas) be distributed with System V? >> Don't malign AT&T mailers too much, they're not totally losing. The mailer distributed with System V (/bin/mail) is totally lusing. Mail aliases, as an implemented idea has been around since Berkeley first joined the ARPANET and delivermail was spawned. Why in five years has AT&T not accepted those good ideas that embody modern mailers, and produced something superior? >> One other thing, mailx(1) is a user agent, not a mailer. I never said that mailx was a `mailer.' The reason that it is a useable user-agent is that it is an old version of Berkeley Mail. Erik E.
