Use smail.

In my limited experience, sendmail is what you need.  If anyone knows how to
get mmdf to do something this complicated, I'd sure like to know about it-
Sendmail can be frustratingly complicated, but I've heard that MMDF doesn't
have the flexibility to handle multiple message delivery agents.

Far from it; that is actually MMDF's specialty... the first M is for
'Multichannel'.  MMDF's simple table-driven design makes it straightforward to
build such a configuration.  I have 19 uucp sites I communicate with, along
with intranet & Internet sites.  The decision on which MTA to use would
certainly be based on other criteria.

best? (pop and uucp and smail) or (pop and uucp and mmdf) ???

SCO are planning on dropping MMDF, so from a long term perspective I would
suggest you go with sendmail. Plus it gives you job security after you get
it running. (Just barely kidding)

| how would you configure pop & mmdf

Oh, I suppose I'd do with a certain amount of forethought.

How would *you* do it?

--

Quote:> how would you configure pop & mmdf

Do you mean for use of POP3 on an intranet for users internally?

Or do you mean for POP3 mail collection from (probably) an ISP for
local delivery?

Or do you mean something else entirely?
