I second the motion. Smail has been nothing but a headache for me. I was *so* releived to get fetchpop working, so that I could bypass the need to pass my mail thru port 25 on my own machine for delivery.
pine + fetchpop + procmail serves all my email needs. (Im not up 24/7, so its ok ;)) speaking of which. if I packaged up fetchpop, could it get included in debian? I much prefer it to fetchmail. if only fetchmail had a -o or a localfolder option! Also, fetchpop guides you thru creation of the appropriate config file the first time you run it. *and* it pipes the stuff transparently thru procmail for you. Which is a bonus, since it always screwed up when I tried cat /var/spool/mail/$USER |procmail, and didnt work at *all* when I just plain ran procmail by itself On Thu, 12 Jun 1997, Christoph Lameter wrote: > It might be good if we would replace smail in hamm with exim.

I am an advocate of many solutions.... I hate to see any software get dropped from the distribution. Hell, I still think we should have continued to include *both* anagram generating programs. <sigh> Yup, I'd like to give chos a try. You developers out there.... does it make your job harder when there are multiple packages that do the same thing in the distribution? Lets hear from you.
