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

I just installed on System V/88 R40v2 on the Motorola Delta Series sytems in my lab. I decided to simplify things by having *only* Smail handle mail transport, so I went ahead and installed with the LMAIL hack. I haven't tried touching the mailsurr file, and it looks like I won't have to. Originally, I had my "transports" file set up to do the Content-Length stuff and not the "unix_from_hack", but I found that Elm 2.3.11 doesn't grok the new format (though I've heard that 2.4 will), so I turned the "unix_from_hack" and 'suffix="\n"' lines back on, in addition to the Content stuff, for anyone using mailx. Here's a diff of sys5.4 vs. sys5.4.mot, which I used for the Motorola SVR4. It includes turning on LMAIL. The current release, R40v2 does not seem to include /dev/sysmsg, so CONSOLE is set to /dev/console. (That deficiency has been reported to the SV/88R4 developers.) SVR4 Systems file is in /etc/uucp. And, I added a few items to HAVE that I strongly suspect are standard SVR4 features. At least, they're in SV/88R4.
