- So, where does one get freze? It doesn't appear to be on uunet. Also,
- if you are going to send compressed batches between two hosts, you
- certainly want to use a compression method that both sites support.
- Compress is a pretty common denominator right now.

-
- Oops. The fix is trivial. Update samples/bsmtp/batchsmtp.sh in the
- obvious way (fix to appear in the official smail3.1.26 release).
