Hi,

I'm not sure if the 'aux' script changed, since I'm not completely up to
date. But I have two problems with my 'aux' script (running on ultrix 3.1):

1) If you mail from out nn, the aux script pushes the mailer into the
   background. The filenames the script is using are not unique,
   since these names are passed in as arguments and bear the parent's pid
   number in them. This results in problems if you mail things quickly
   after each other and your mailer is a little slow.

2) I use MH 6.5, and 'aux' doesn't support that. I use an extensive MH
   aliases file, so what I did is: instead of using '$RECMAIL' (normally
   'sendmail -t') I use the 'send' program of MH. This requires an additional
   temporary file since 'send' cannot be used as a filter.

Hope this helps or, if it has been fixed already, sorry I'm not up to date.

Regards,
