Has anyone out there in USENET land had any success getting the MH mail system to compile and work under 386/XENIX SysV? If so, what mail delivery mechanism do you use? Since XENIX uses a non-standard delivery system, I compiled MH to do its own delivering, but the sending gets "hung" for no reason I can fathom. If any of you are wondering why I would want to use such a dinosaur mail handler, MH does the dirty work for xmh, the X-Windows mail application. I wouldn't want to use the MH utilities directly, at least not on a regular basis. Thanks! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kevin L.

It works fine for me, but the first thing I did was chuck the XENIX MTA and install MMDF-II #43. You probably want to install smail 3.whatever, since that can pretend it is sendmail for MH. -- David J. Fiander <david@golem.uucp> L'homme est bien insens\'e.
