Simple sollution that does all of this:
Get the following programs and install them as instructed:
smail - smart mailer (handles internet addresses et al)
gives you /usr/lib/aliases, a smart mailer ...
elm - electronic mail user interface - replaces mailx completely
lmail - John Zeef's replacement for the local mail delivery
program - gives you mail to programs and other goodies
This combo works on V/286 and V/386 - I love it!
If you can't get lmail, let me know and I will see what I can do.
