People might be interested: 386/IX from ISC does include sendmail, smail and
pathalias.  Somewhat out-of-date versions (smail 2.3 last I looked) but 
certainly better than nothing.  There are man-pages for them - but the 
documentation is a bit scanty on how to use/install them.  Eg: you have to run 
"/usr/lib/install.mail" and answer a few questions.  (BTW: if you don't,
mail from your 386 box will not give the originating address to neighbors
properly) 

If nothing else you should be able to do some sort of smart-host forwarding.  
The man pages do allude to acquiring maps from neighbors.  Would be nice if ISC
include a couple-page document on how to set up e-mail.

No, they don't include netnews.  Just as well - there's enough floppies
in the installation as it is.
