Hello,

I thought of posting this question to a wider distribution, but
knew someone in this group would know the answer.

I want to run SMTP on System V.  Is this possible?
Do I need sendmail?  If so, just what does sendmail
give me that smail doesn't?

Why do I ask?  We are running VAX/VMS with Micom-Interlan
TCP/IP package which includes SMTPD hooked-up on a LAN
with Digital Sound Voice servers running a variant of System V.1,
and possibly a 3B1 in the future :-)  It just isn't clear to me
how you can get SMTP running on System V, and how sendmail fits
in to the picture.

For those of you brave enough to reply... Thanks!
