All you need to do is replace sendmail with smail-3.1.25 which after
changing mkdefs.sh to run with ash or bash will compile with practically
no problems.

Attached is a patch to get smail running, I still seem to have a problem
with bind and smail as a daemon but used normally it works perfectly.
You can't use ndbm as smail wants some type of ndbm_fileno or something
which doesn't exist.

             Patch follows
