There is also the "lmail" program and the "deliver" programs posted sometime ago which give you much the same capablility without some of the inherent security risks that come with the patch. If I recall correctely the biggest danger with the simple patch to smail was that there was no protection from someone mailing something to an address like "|burn" from outside your system. Now maybe you want something like this. If you do, let me know what your site name is. I'll test it out for you :-) :-). Note: Just because I never saw it, doesn't mean that problem wasn't fixed. If it was, my appologies. Michael H.
