[comp.mail.misc] Ethernet mail between Sys V and 4.2BSD

mikew@bigboy.UUCP (Mike Wexler) (09/16/87)

We have several 4.2BSD machines on a Ethernet Backbone with several
Xenix System V and Unix System V machines.  On the System V machines
we have the Excelan software/hardware that provides socket access to 
tcp-ip.  I would like to send mail between these systems.  The problem
is the System V machines use mail over uucp over Ethernet as a transfer
mechanism and the 4.2BSD machines use SMTP over Ethernet to transfer mail.
Does anyone know how I can get these machines to talk without much effort?
I would prefer to use SMTP because I think it is a more standard solution.
On possibility would be to run sendmail with SMTP built in on the System V
machines.  Does anybody have a version of sendmail that runs on System V?
BTW, the Xenix System V machines are mostly 286 based PC's with all the
address space problems.
