[comp.mail.sendmail] Sendmail & EXCELAN TCP/IP ports ?

grants@syacus.acus.oz.au (Grant Sayer) (06/03/91)

	I'm interested to hear from anyone who has ported sendmail to a
system with the EXCELAN TCP/IP.  In particular the modifications which
were necessary to "daemon.c" to enable sendmail to function across 
the "ether".

	Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Cannot say I did it to sendmail, but I have done it to smail 3.1
for both the 3.1.17/18/91.1 releases and the newer smail 3.1.21.1
release.

Have been useing it for years as a drop in sendmail replacement,
albiet, its not sendmail.

We run it here.  Its basically a matter of just changing all the socket calls
to do what Excelan wants as opposed to normal 4.3 sockets.  I have done stock
sendmail, I have not yet attacked IDA.

I guess I could send you diffs.  Why don't you send me mail...
