Hello Everyone!!

I have tried and tried to configure sendmail to work on my site. Please 
don't tell me to purchase the Nutshell book on sendmail. I have it and 
I'm still confused. What I have NO problem with is smail-3.1.28. I have 
used it and it works well for me. Has anyone out there compiled it for 
FreeBSD 1.1? If so, can I get a copy? If not the executable can I get the 
modified sources? Please help as sendmail is about to kill me. All I want 
to do is set up my system as a UUCP site. The default sendmail.cf 
distributed with FreeBSD 1.1 does not understand UUCP. I went and got 
sendmail from Berkeley so I could look at the sample *.cf files. I used 
the one entitled uucpproto.cf. I can now get UUCP to work but ALL local 
mail is now attempting to go to me "smarthost" instead of getting 
delivered locally. As you can see, this is driving me nuts.
