I have set up smail2.2 on a Xenix machine.  No problems. I did just
what the info with the package told me too.  smail is runnig without
problems, but delivery is not without problems.  Xenix mail is used
by smail as local delivery agent.  The problem is that Xenix mail
(now called lmail) adds a blank line in the header!  It looks something
like:
From uucp
To peter
Subject

From: jan@machine.se
....
...

Message follows.....

As i describe, a blank line is added.  Is there anyone out there who got
suggestions on what to do??

To make Elm work, i modified the code, making Elm think there need to be
two blank lines before the message starts (this is not a good solution
but works until something better comes up).
