Annotation of coherent/d/bin/mail/smail/docs/Install, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: There are three system types on which smail can be installed.
        !             2: 
        !             3:        (1) Berkeley with sendmail
        !             4:        (2) System V with sendmail
        !             5:        (3) System V without sendmail
        !             6: 
        !             7:        Note: if you have a System III or V7 derived system, you
        !             8:        can probably treat it like (3).  We have not tested smail
        !             9:        on such a system.
        !            10: 
        !            11: The installation will vary slightly for each system type.
        !            12: 
        !            13: For all systems you first have to create a 'paths' database.
        !            14: See paths(8) for details on the file's format.  Then
        !            15: copy it to /usr/lib/uucp/paths.
        !            16: 
        !            17: Next, edit "defs.h" to configure smail to suit your situation.
        !            18: 
        !            19: Here are step by step installation instructions for each system type.

        !            67:        begins with "Mlocal" in the generated sendmail.cf).  If you try
        !            68:        to send mail from a local user to a local user, a message comes
        !            69:        out that says "No '!' in UUCP! (user)" - and the mail fails.
        !            70:        If this happens take the 'U' flag out of the sendmail.cf.
