[comp.unix.xenix.sco] MH under XENIX

n025fc@tamuts.tamu.edu (Kevin Weller) (05/07/91)

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!

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.
