Well I just switched over to my own hacked version of exim, and I have to say that it (now) has almost everything I could want in a mailer.

You shouldn't be moving them to /var/spool/smail/ - you should be moving them to /var/spool/smail/input/ - and I believe that /etc/smail/crontab is installed as the crontab for the user mail during the package install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
