 The sendmail ISC supplied (at least the one I got from them with 2.2)
was brain dead. It spawned several copies of itself daily, none of which
would go away and after a couple of days crash the system. Thankfully,
smail 3.1 is around...

 The mailx with 2.2 was OK (as OK as mailx gets...). It doesn't hurt
to install ELM anyway, much nicer. :-}

 I'll second that vote. I know at least 3 other folks who agree too (we
don't even install it anymore). 

 Hmm, I just realized this is a sort of negative post. It isn't meant
that way, I really think ISC is the best game in town at this time.
