Hi all,
just one question, I was compiling/porting sources from 4.4BSDLite to
Linux when I was considering usr.bin/mail.
Well porting was fairly easy, but when I configure sendmail to use it as a
local mail deliver program, I found that it it doesn't seem to be able
to do such a task. So I finally found libexec/mail.local and - well -
it was clear that it was the right program to use for that, in fact it
works :) So here is my question: Is it true that 4.4BSD usr.bin/mail
can NOT deliver local mail or I have miss something ???
I'd like to clear this point, so thanks in advance.
Stoned.
P.S. Perhaps I should ask this to the guys in comp.mail.sendmail ??
And, please would you mind excuse my poor - frenchy - english :) :)
