Well, you're just the person I need to talk to.  I'd really like to
hear what you did to dump MMDF and start using sendmail.  Anyway...

Yup, even though you tell ELM to use /usr/lib/sendmail instead of
/usr/mmdf/bin/submit to send mail, you must still answer YES to the
question about your MTA using MMDF.  Strange, I know :-)

Please let me know how you got sendmail to work on your machine.  I
basically have two types of mail comming from my SCO machine, local
mail and everything else.  Thanks.
