Hi. I've got a couple 3B2/700s to deal with. Here's the situation: we now have multiple mail readers on our system (mailx, elm, mush) and people are beginning to use them. Unfortunately, we only used to have "mailx" and all of the aliases (mailing lists) were kept in /usr/lib/mailx/mailx.rc, the global startup file. Now, people who use other mail agents can't use the aliases because they're specific to "mailx". I've been trying to figure out which of the following I need: sendmail smail pathalias uumail <something else?> Problems: I can't find a sendmail that will compile on my 3B2. I know that /usr/lib/aliases is where it will expand aliases, and this is the type of thing I need. Smail doesn't seem to know about alias files like /usr/lib/alises. If it did, Ithink it would be perfect. If it does and I just don't know it, *please* let me know, because I got Smail to compile easily! :-) I really think I'm barking up the wrong tree with pathalias and uumail, since we don't send to any other sites. Thank you thank you thank you. Email replies are (very) welcome. Eric Thompson et@ocf.berkeley.edu
