I have an Altos version of xenix which apparently uses a program called "execmail" which I think I similar to "sendmail". Smail doesn't know about this though so I am hard pressed to figure out how to modify it to recognize that it must itervene on execmail's behalf and send the mail whilee still giveing me the interface of the standard /usr/bin/mail program. Does anyone know how to correct this? +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Michael R.
