Hi Fellow netters,

Has anyone got the mail system to work? First thing is that I have
used to have NetBSD 0.8 and had no problem with the mail system. There
was a sendmail config file included in the distribution. 

However when I came to install NetBSD 0.9 I was suprised to find the
sendmail config file had been removed. I have now sorted out a reasonable
sendmail config file (stolen from my machine at work) but an still
unable to get local mail to deliver on my system.

It seems that I am missing the mail deliver agent called /bin/mail
which is different from /usr/bin/mail and /usr/bin/Mail. Can anyone
help?


Thanks
