It might be good if we would replace smail in hamm with exim. Exim should
be the standard mailer for hamm:
- Exim is based on the same concepts as smail.
- It is developed with newer concepts in mind
- Exim is scalable from running from inetd to delivering hundredths of

Exim can provide UUCP capabilities. It cannot do bang path routing. I doubt
that anyone is using that though.

The value of $- is 'hB'
If the grep fails, this will never echo.
work:~$ cat script1
#!/bi
I only run bash 2.0 on my systems at home.

Everybody knows what you should think first. But who does aft
Have a look at the bug report. I dont know why no one has marked it as
