Yes, I would like to address mail using the the domain name system and have it leave the system via UUCP bound for networks which use Sendmail and communicate amongst each other via SMTP. Therefore, the mail headers, etc. need to conform to RFC822 standards. So far I have Elm, Version 2.2, Patch Level 11, which I belive to be the latest version/patch level. (Could someone verify that?) It will replace SCO "mail" and act as the user interface. I would like to replace SCO "rmail" with Smail. I have not been able to locate it though, could someone please tell me what the latest version/patch level is? and where I could ftp it from? Does Elm require both Smail and Pathalias to accomplish the above task? If so, what is the latest version/patch level of Pathalias? Where can I ftp it from also? While executing the Elm "Configure" script, it ask for the location of two files, the Pathalias "data" file and a uumail-style "domains" file. Where can I obtain a "domains" file from? Is it something that you generate locally? If so, with what? In preparation for the installation of Elm, I messed around with what I think is an older version of Pathalias. I fed Pathalias the latest "u.usa.hi.1" and it produced two files, which is the one Elm expects? If I recall right, one had a "dat" extension and the other a "pat" extension. I have have since deleted this version of Pathalias in hopes of finding the latest version on the net. I would appreciate any assistance, all of this is rather new to me. For those of you which may have missed the original posting, the system is running SCO XENIX 386 2.3.1.
