- I recompiled the smail package from sunsite with those variables changed
- and I now have a working smtp mailer. It works fine. I have mine
- configured more like sendmail, but other than that, I made no other
- changes. From my understanding of the way smail works, I don't believe
- those bsd-network changes will affect uucp. After all, bsd machines
- with sendmail use uucp too. I will find out when I try that out at my
- home system with uucp as the basic transport.
