After poking around on UUNET looking for smail I cam across a directory named smail3. The version string in defs.h claims it is v2.5 and not v3.0. Can someone set me straight on this?

The archive is named "smail3" because it is the third "smail" to appear in comp.sources.unix, and yes, it is version 2.5. I have do not expect to see Smail3 in my lifetime. /r$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net. Use a domain-based address or give alternate paths, or you may lose out.

Thanks in advance. +--------------- Sometime last year someone sent me a version of smail 2.5 which was ported to Xenix, and called it "Smail 3.0". I complained to the submitter but accepted it anyway. (The submitter never responded to my complaint.) It's really Smail 2.5; Smail 3.x has never been submitted to a sources group for posting, to my knowledge. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
