- Smail 3.1 is definitely superior to sendmail
- in many respects. However the ability to
- time out undeliverables in the input queue
- was only recently implemented, so you need
- to access version 28 or higher of smail 3.1
- in order to get this functionality. It's
- available via ftp form many sites, including
- ftp.uu.net.
