$ Problem --
$  I just started using xmh and like it except for the fact that no one was
$ getting the email I was sending them.  I tried to find out what was 
$ happening and discovered whenever I try to send mail using mhmail I get:
$ 
$ 
$    post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available
$   /usr/local/lib/mh/post: Exit 1
$   Letter saved in dead.letter
$ 
$ 
$   I recall seeing something posted about this some time ago and was
$ wondering if whoever found a solution (if there was one) would mind posting
$ it again.

In my case, it was because sendmail was not running as a daemon.  I
don't know the solution if you don't want to run it as a daemon.
Anyone know?
