[comp.mail.misc] What is needed for smartmail/pathalias on Sun's?

berger@gaia.datacube.COM (Bob Berger) (01/27/89)

We are converting our network to Sun OS 4.0.1 (from 3.5). We are also
converting from using notes to news and replacing our Pyramid 90x
based mail/notes/uucp gateway with a Sun 3. We are using pathalias
version 9, sendmail.cf UUCP-Project/rel-1.1, uuhosts 1.69 on the
Pyramid.

I am trying to figure out in advance what I need to get to most easily
set up the latest and greatest versions of smartmail, news, pathalias,
etc. I would love to see a description, comparison and where to get all the
different:
	news software
	news user interfaces
	mailers and mail support tools

Cause I'm confused about smail, smartmail, IDA mail, sendmail, gatech
mail, dmail, uuhosts, pathalias, BNEWS 2.11, BNEWS 3.0, CNEWS, vnews,
pnews, inews, rn (by the dozens) and so on.

I'm particularly interested in solutions tuned for a NFS network of
Suns.
