Yes, I'm finding that out. The problem is that SCO Xenix is shipped without
a mailer!! Only what is neccessary to handle local mail, uucp mail and 
micnet (does anyone use micnet at all??) mail. Everything is basically
hard-wired. I was advised to get Smail or ELM. Are these PD or commercial
and where can I get a version (archive site, etc) for SCO Xenix 2.3.2??
 
Thanks in advance and sorry for the complaint.
