Just a short note...

There are at least a couple of other Unix mailers (other than
sendmail/delivermail) that support aliasing and that have seen
wide distribution.  These are MH (from Rand & UCI) and MMDF
(from CSNET, etc.)

Yeah, but not everyone has 4.2bsd on a vax. Anyone have a decent mailer for
a Masscomp? I didn't think so. Mine doesn't even know how to reply to a
message, much less aliasing and other fun stuff. It would be nice to have
one that generated headers, too (any kind, though RFC 822 would be nice).
I can think of some solutions to some of the problems mentioned here 
recently, *IF* there were a widely available PD mailer that generated and
understood RFC 822. I've seen neat things go by, but they all assume that
I am running BSD with sendmail.
