I just installed smail here and found that masscomp's mailx seems to hang when lower-case r replying to mail sent by local users. I tried the mailx.rc trick of "set sendmail=/bin/mail" but it still hangs. The only fix I could muster was to modify smail to never add "(Full Name)" to the "From:" line. This is only a problem for replying to local mail. Little r replying to outside mail doesn't have this problem. I'd appreciate any tips from folks who have successuflly installed smail on a masscomp. (PS. This is smail 2.5). Thanks, Bryan Costales, Senior Systems Programmer, EEG Systems Laboratory 1855 Folsom St, Suite 610, San Francisco, Ca 94103 (415) 621-8343 {pacbell,lll-winken}!eeg!bcx

We are using sendmail (with The IDA Sendmail Enhancement Kit), but due to some problems with mailx, we had to switch to mush instead of mailx. /Anders -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-= AEGIS - Just say no !!! Anders Rantila Apollo - *&@^#&*^@*& !!! ara@prodix.liu.se [ I would point out that those of you who are currently using sendmail will continue to have to support it yourself. MMDF is to be the supported mailer from MASSCOMP. If you are planning to make heavy use of electronic mail, I'd suggest getting the MMDFIIB kit and installing it (or waiting until the released MMDF comes from MASSCOMP this fall). This way your experiences will be transferable to the supported product when it comes available. The MASSCOMP USERS' Society intends to help users with MMDF to make connection with USENET and each other. We will not be support sendmail (officially) either. -- sob]
