[comp.unix.microport] Smail for System V/AT

david@bdt.UUCP (David Beckemeyer) (10/13/88)

Now that I've finally got a reliable feed of comp.mail.maps
and I've got pathalias working, I'm anxious to get smail
installed.   But the version I have (smail 2.5 09/15/87)
to work.   It compiles OK but core dumps when run.  Before
I start hacking it, I though I'd check to see if this is
the correct version for System V/AT.

Does anybody have smail running under uport 286, and if so
which version and where can I get it?  Thanks.

The problem is a stack overflow in main() due to too many local
variables.  The following patch fixes the problem.  I also have included
a patch to the code that captures diagnostic messages from the local
mailer /bin/lmail.
