Try using other mailers on your system to receive mail from 'smail'. We are using '/usr/bin/rmail' which was the original part of the mailer that received mail from uucp. The only thing we have found that doesn't work correct with this is the 'smail' aliases file be our mailer has one also and we allow it to do aliases. One problem we still have, (from 'smail 2.3') is smail doesn't like to process dual address to local users unless their is a ',' between the address and most senders still don't include this because standard mailer don't need a comma. If anyone has fixed this, let us in on a fix. Robert, recompile 'smail' with local mailer set to '/usr/bin/ rmail' and see if this doesn't solve your problems. -- Cyro Lord Alpha Comm. Dev.
