Subject: Submission for Smail pd

X-Mailer: Elm [version 2.1 alpha-test]
Status: R
Howdy, Ron. Here's another goodie for Smail's "pd" directory.
The Xenix mail system is derived indirectly from Berkeley's. Thus there
is a program like Mail (/usr/bin/mail) and a program like sendmail
(/usr/lib/mail/execmail).
The /usr/bin/mail program can be "persuaded" to use execmail for delivery of
all mail. (This is done by putting a command "set execmail" in the global
mail configuration file /usr/lib/mail/mailrc.)
When I first got Smail 2.5, I wrote a small program, "execm", that replaces
the standard Xenix execmail. Execm parses execmail options and then runs
Smail. When Smail 3.1 arrived, I modified execm to use Smail's new options.
Below, find a sharchive for execm: one Makefile and one C source file.
These files should be all that a Xenix user needs to use Smail with the
standard Xenix mail program.
