Smail is intended to be a mail delivery agent, not a mail user interface. Typically smail is called from some other mailer such as sendmail to cause the mail to be delivered via uucp. You will still want to have some other mail program as your user interface. I'm not familiar with how mail works on Xenix but if you use sendmail then you should be able to modify your sendmail.cf. Otherwise, if you have source you may need to modify your mail program to use smail. Good luck. -- Darrell McIntosh Gould CSD, Urbana Software Development Center Internet: darrell@xenurus.Urbana.Gould.COM Usenet: uunet!uiucuxc!urbsdc!darrell
