I just installed smail3.1.26 on ESIX SVR4.0.4. I installed it using the ``natural'' edits to the EDITME file (os=sys5.4, etc.) I did not install it in /usr/bin/sendmail, since SVR4 does not, by default, include sendmail there. In fact, SVR4 includes the sendmail configuration in /usr/ucblib, but does not document how to actually use it. Rather than even trying to fool around with the stuff in /usr/ucblib, I let smail install itself in /usr/local/bin/smail and also let it install itself as /bin/rmail. Now, remote mail received via uucp comes in correctly through smail, but local messages don't. In order to force /bin/mail to send everything to smail I replaced the default mailsurr file (in /etc/mail/mailsurr) with the following one line file: '(.+)' '(.+)' '< /usr/local/bin/smail -em -i \\2' Voila! /bin/mail sends everything to smail and I didn't have to fool around with the LMAIL stuff or anything. In fact, I could probably restore /bin/rmail.SAV into /bin/rmail and let rmail forward everything to smail...an experiment for the future? Since I don't have an ethernet connection, I don't know the details of replacing the smtpd entry in the network startup, but it probably doesn't involve much more than editing an rc file somewhere... /Joe
