[comp.sources.wanted] Sendmail for SysV

[ I originally posted this with a uk distribution, but have had no
  luck as yet...]

I'm looking for a freely distributable version of sendmail which will
run on a SVID compliant Sys V machine. If anyone has such a beast I
would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks all

Scott

i have ported sendmail 5.58 to system v release 3.1.    it runs on a
3b2 with win/3b (the wollongong group tcp/ip) and dbm.

it is available by anonymous ftp from eagle.ucsd.edu (128.54.0.241) 
in cpio form with ascii headers, uncompressed or compressed.
(pub/sendmail.cpio or pub/sendmail.cpio.Z).

as i said, it is configured to use win/3b tcp/ip and dbm.  i have never 
tried other configurations, but they might work.

if you can't ftp, contact me and we can try to work something out.

I don't usually advertise things which are not generally available, but I'm
making an exception for an exceptional program.  Smail 3 -- currently in
alpha test -- is a plug-in replacement for sendmail.  But it's not a
sendmail clone; it's much more.  For one thing, its configuration files are
actually readable by humans!  And Smail is capable of transmitting messages
without munging the From: header line.

So all you SysV users who think you want sendmail:  STOP!  Wait for Smail 3.
You'll be glad you did.
