Short ad:  HP is (mostly) system V and runs sendmail.  Demand same from
your SysV UNIX box vendor.  $$ talks!

Re MH:  Source is in the public domain and is now administered by anarchy
since the original progenators have cut their umbilical cords.  MH in fact
runs with mmdf and its own transport system, including through UUCP via
rmail.  If it doesn't work on your site, make sure you have MH6.5, with the
latest patches and make sure you've compiled with the appropriate
switches. Then, if you still don't like the way it works, feel free to
change it and send the changes to the free world. MH only runs *better*
with sendmail ;-)
