On Friday I received the official release for SCO's tcp/ip for xenix. After three bad experiences with the controlled release I am hesitant to jump in to install this version (particularly since I now have smail and a number of other programs that will have to be adjusted and reinstalled). Has anyone else received the official release and replaced the earlier controlled release? Was the new installation any easier (I know that they have added a number of installation scripts)? Were there any problems (substantial - requiring hours to locate and fix) that weren't covered in the manual? SCO seems to recommend using MMDF rather then sendmail, though they include both. Has anyone installed smail with MMDF?

I've used SCO Xenix/386 with SCO TCP/IP, and I was quite happy with it. Assuming that you have the TCP/IP development kit, I'd get Smail 3.1.19 from uunet.uu.net in the ~/mail directory. It's a plug-in replacement for Sendmail, and it handles SMTP and DNS. If you don't have the development kit, then use MMDF. Avoid Sendmail like... the plague. -- Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT <chip@tct.uucp>, <uunet!ateng!tct!chip>
