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. -- Chip Salzenberg <chip@ateng.uu.net> or <uunet!ateng!chip> A T Engineering My employer may or may not agree with me. The urgent leaves no time for the important.

You just need to be one of those alien types who can read & write sendmail.cf. > So all you SysV users who think you want sendmail: STOP! Wait for > Smail 3. You'll be glad you did. smail 3.0 (not to be confused with smail 2.5 which is sometimes called smail 3) is not available yet. It's not clear when it will be in beta test, much less general release. In the meantime, sendmail works now if you need to pipe mail to programs or other things smail 2.5 won't do. -- James R.
