Perhaps six months ago I read a short USENET article describing something called "ZMAIL" (or maybe "ZMAILER".) In particular, I remember a quote like "Sendmail is old hat; ZMAIL is where it's at!" I'd like to find out more about this package. I think this article was posted by someone at the Univeristy of Toronto, but I'm not sure. Any leads would be appreciated. -- John Sambrook Internet: amc!john@uunet.uu.net Applied Microsystems Corporation UUCP: amc!john Redmond, Washington 98073 Dial: (206) 882-2000 ext. 630

Zmailer is alive and well, and in use as the mail gateway between
NETNORTH and the Internet. For information on zmailer, contact the

With such a penchant for producing memorable buzzphrases, perhaps I should
go into advertising...
No, it isn't withering.
It is in late stages of alpha testing (which started a couple of years ago),
runs on a few machines around the world, is built for demanding environments
and is still evolving (hence alpha). Its motivation was Sendmail being
inadequate in many respects. I will send more info to the people who sent
me private mail, but unless you are really^N fed up with Sendmail/MMDF, you are
better off waiting for the Grand Porting Exercise (beta) or Release.
