|Has anyone here used the mail routing system shipped in SvsVr4 (ie,
|"mailsurr")? Is either "smail" necessary on an R4 system?


	Mailsurr has no uucp routing database
	facility, but it is easily added. The
	docs show how smail could be used for
	this (Appendix F of the System Admin.
	Guide). Smail 2.x must have been what
	they had in mind.


	The SysVr4 mailer is pretty nice - it
	is deceptively simple but it seems to
	be a reasonable mail system.  A rumor
	that a version of it may get released
	in source code is going around...
