According to gws@cbnews.ATT.COM (Gary W. Sanders):

Quite.  I've been an "Alpha tester" for some months now.  I'd like nothing
better than to release it to the world, but the authors have some heavy
modifications in the works, and it's their call.

I'm sure that Gary isn't the only one who wants to do this.  I think I can
help.

The Deliver program, in conjunction with Smail 2.5, should take care of most
of the things UUCP-only sites would want to do. (Not all, but most.) You
configure Smail 2.5 to hand local mail to Deliver.  Deliver's behavior is
controlled by "delivery files" -- shell scripts.  The neat part is that the
delivery files have available to them the message header and body, so they
can pipe one or both to any program, in addition to performing aliasing or
routing or anything else.

Deliver 2.0 is in the comp.sources.unix queue.  If you _really_ can't wait,
send me E-Mail.
