- I'm glad you told me that Marc! I've been running smail 2.5 on
- camco for several years now with over 50 connections pumping

- most of these sites. I wonder where all the mail has been going!

- Granted we're not using SMTP (yet), and when we do I'm going to
- have to switch MTAs and I'm still debating whether to go to
- smail 3.2.? or mmdf. Looking at the documentation it seems to
- six of one half-dozen for the other, but I probably will go with
- mmdf simply because I support a lot of SCO systems and I probably
- don't need to yank it an replace it unnecessarily.
