I got smail working, with my existing configuration -- just by enabling
it in inetd instead of standalone, it seems. Very strange. Perhaps,
as you say, it's time to move on!
Unfortunately yes I am doing UUCP, but I can probably move that work
off to another box, although that box is debian too but not critical.
Will exim support different alias files for different domains?
I've got the hideous smail method for doing that installed -- duplicating
the configuration files in another directory and using dodgy transports.
This is an important requirement here.
