According to eddjp at althea.UUCP (Dewey Paciaffi):

My solution to this problem is:
1. Use a TCP/IP implementation that has a socket library; in my
case, it's SCO TCP/IP controlled release.
2. Get Smail 3.1.
3. Compile Smail 3 with "HAVE_BSD_NETWORKING=yes" in configuration.
4. Install Smail 3 as /usr/lib/sendmail.
5. Configure Elm to use /usr/lib/sendmail.
6. Let Smail 3 figure out how to deliver each message.
Of course, Smail 3 isn't generally available. IMHO, the solution posted by
Chip Rosenthal using Deliver is the next best idea.
