A most interesting point of view, Brad. I submit, however, that
what we really need to do is bundle a replacement for the ancient
/bin/mail program in (V7, sIII, sV.*) along with the netnews
distribution. /bin/mail has not been adequate to the needs of any
networked organization for a number of years, and as long as AT&T
continues to pretend that it is, we have to fend for ourselves.

Anybody have a good, public domain replacement that is easily
configured, can deal with domains, has mail alias support, can
deliver local mail with the appropriate mailbox locking, and can
read a pathalias generated path list to get out to the UUCP network?
