Thanks Peter, and all others who responded,

I down-loaded ``qmail-1.01.tar.gz'' this afternoon, followed the
instructions, and have got it going now (6h later).  No major hickups.
Gnus (XEmacs news reader) accepted the new ``MAILBOX'' format too.
I am impressed!  :-)  :-)

There are still a few things I need to do to set my local network up
the way I want it, but with sendmail I never got that far :-/

Qmail - highly recommended.
