A major source of confusion though, is that I happened to call it DNAMAIL, which is the same name as the above program written by P. Jensen(?) (which also is similar to D. Johnson - all purely coincidence...) There are a few minor bugs (and could use some enhancement since it is about a year old), requires modifying sendmail.cf, but is pretty simple to use once set up. For example, from the Suns, I send mail to myself from my .forward file as darin@cosmos. On the vax, I send mail via NOVA::"darin" (or NOVA::"x!y!z..."). This is probably the most inexpensive route to go, since it only requires purchasing Sunlink/DNI (which is worth it in itself). The source to this was posted to comp.sources.misc, and should be in the Sun archives at rice.edu. If you can't get ahold of it there, then send me mail and I will send a copy.
