I'm sick of trying to read the cryptic "instructions" on how to
configure sendmail, so I'm trying to switch to smail, which I've
had good luck using in the past.  BUT there seems to be a shell
incompatibility.  In the middle of defs.sh there is a line which
reads merely "=yes".  This kills make every time.

At any rate, has anyone gotten it to work?  I'm no shell wizard.
