Dunno what to say.  Works hree.  I will append my notes on getting smail to
work on Xenix 2.3.x.

As you can see from the new batwings in my header, smail 3.1.20 installed on
Xenix/386 2.3.3.  I had to do the same five hacks that were required in 3.1.18,
except one had to be more extreme.

  o conf/EDITME : CFLAGS="-O -DLAI_TCP" so that Xenix will not bitch abouut
    no typedefs for u_whatever when you take the networking options for
    smail.

  o conf/EDITME : for those of us running DNS or at least networking under
    Xenix, the simplest hack seems to be

    MISC_C_DEFINES='
    #define REQUIRE_CONFIGS TRUE
    #undef LOCAL_MAIL_FILE
    #define LOCAL_MAIL_FILE "/usr/spool/mail/${lc:user}"
    #define HAVE_BSD_NETWORKING
    #define HAVE_GETHOSTNAME
    #define HAVE_DUP2
    '
  o conf/lib/mkdefs.sh needs to handle colon-separated filenames on
    OTHER_SMAIL_NAMES.  The best hack seems to be to insert a hacked version
    of the code that was in smail 3.1.18.  So, add

    # Convert OTHER_SMAIL_NAMES from a colon-separated list to
    # a white-space separated list
    case "$OTHER_SMAIL_NAMES" in
    *:*)	OTHER_SMAIL_NAMES="`echo "$OTHER_SMAIL_NAMES" |
    			        sed -e 's/:/ /g' -e 's/[ 	]+/ /'`"
	   ;;
    esac

    immediately before

    # If a SMAIL_NAME is specified, add it to the OTHER_SMAIL_NAMES.
    # Otherwise, create one that points to the main smail binary.

    Otherwise, it will fail at install time.

  o pd/pathalias/mapaux.c : comment out the declarations of strcmp() and
    strlen().

  o pd/pathalias/config.h : comment out the define for MEMSET

Best of luck to all.
