[net.unix] mail program

From:      Harold Carter (AFIT) <hcarter@brl>

We recently became a host on the arpanet and all works well except we can't
mail messages using "mail" (it was not updated for arpanet use, if such a
thing is possible).  The ONLY way we seem to be able to do it is set up
the headers manually, then cat the message to /usr/spool/netmail.  Even
then we are not sure the message really goes anywhere.
	My request is: Does anybody know how to update "mail" to handle the
arpanet?  If so, and if the source to "mail" is needed, can you supply the
source to "mail"?  If "mail" is not the way to go, how about "msg"?  Can you
supply the source to "msg"?  We are running BSD4.1 on a VAX 11/780.

			Thanks....	Hal Carter

I have a friend who might be able to help you:

His name is Craig Leres
and his mail address is:

leres%ucbarpa@Berkeley.ARPA

He has worked with the mail program. Perhaps you could get the berkeley
mail sender information, since you have 4.1

good luck,
Daniel Conde
