About a year ago there was a lot of talk about a smail re-write
called "smail 3.0".  A bit later I heared that smail 3.1 was 
out.  As far as I know nothing ever appeared in comp.sources.*
and I have not seen any mention of smail 3.X in the last few month.

Did smail ever graduate to Release 3?  Is is worth to upgrade from smail 2.5
to the new one?  Our mail situation is getting more and more complex every day
and we either are going to seriously patch existing smail (which means
we will never upgrade to anything else), install sendmail (Not a trivial task
on a SVR3 Unix with no sockets ot TCP/IP support) or write our own.

Am I missing any alternatives?  Suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-- Alex
