It appears easy enough to add the -s option to svbinmail.c, but I'm still a bit worried. If I type /bin/lmail -gobbledygookandstrangeletters it will print out a usage message which includes a lot of options which are not included in svbinmail.c (of course I have only a release 2 manual, so I don't know what they do). Does anyone know if these other options are ever used? Also there is another problem with smail (2.5). If I try to send mail from an account with a restricted shell, the mail simply disappears, no error message, no entry in /usr/spool/uucp/mail.log. I haven't found a mention of this in the any of the docs, though I'm haven't really looked that hard. I'm just hoping someone else will know. Please send mail to me, I will summarize if appropriate. By the way, if I want to use Jon Zeefs' lmail, do I have to make any changes to smail, perhaps undefine ALIAS or something like that? Adrian Miranda uunet!kralc!ade
