I already got a few replies, most of them from fellow netters who want
to do something similar. I should add that I'd like to use the usual
mailbox format (not MMDF), so I can't use the local-delivery agent which
the SCO sendmail invokes, after 'mkdev sendmail-init'.

Sofar I've found the new sendmail 8.6.x harder to configure for our
environment, than IDA (we have both uucp and smtp in the same domain).

Best regards,

Dimitris.
