- Well, let's not confuse plain old smail (2.5...) with smail 3.1, which I've
- been running with great pleasure and success for several years on my 3B1.
- Smail 3.1 combines the functionality of both smail (2+) and sendmail, and
- is fairly easy to run. I use it to handle some high-volume mailing lists.
- The smail 3.1 program has little or nothing to do with smail 2.5. In fact,
- I think it was written by different people - from the ground up, so it
- really bears no relationship to the earlier program of the same name.
-
- Smail 3.1 knows how to batch things and send to aliases and all the things
- that sendmail does, without having to learn some funny configuration
- language. Smail 3.1 can be obtained from a number of ftp archive sites,
- including:
-
- uunet.uu.net or ftp.uu.net - United States
- archive.EU.net - somewhere in Europe
- hp4nl.nluug.nl - the Netherlands
-
- It's in ~ftp/mail/smail/smail-3.1.<latest-release>.tar.Z on uunet.
-
- There are now two smail 3.1 discussion lists maintained by Lyndon
- Nerenberg, lyndon@cs.athabascau.ca: smail3-users and smail3-wizards.
- To subscribe send mail to:
-
- smail3-users-request@cs.athabascau.ca
-
- Smail 3.1 is public domain software. I have no connection with
- these folks, except as a very satisfied user.
