- The smail binary provided with SLS doesn't have the smtp drivers
- compiled into it. I have managed to get smail to compile with smtp
- drivers by starting from the source code in the newspak directory on
- sunsite. All I had to change were the following defines in
- conf/os/linux.
-
- 1. Change DRIVER_CONFIGURATION to bsd-network.
-
- 2. Add BSD_NETWORKING to the HAVE list.
-
- 3. Add INET_NTOA_USE_STRUCT to the MISC_DEFINES list.
-
- Note that I haven't yet been able to test this as I am currently a
- long distance phone call away from my internet dial-in point which
- makes testing new software rather expensive. I should be able to
- test it next week.
