The UWO/Mail system for vax/vms (a complete replacement for vax/vms mail with
support for Jnet, Multinet, Fusion, UCX, ....) is available by anonymous ftp

	from hydra.uwo.ca in the subdirectory [.mail]

This is a source distribution and requires a C compiler. The distribution
consists of 30 shar files for a total of 2721 blocks (perhaps to large to post
to the sources group).

We use this system in the Multinet/JNET environment and have done so for
several years now. Over the last month on our system 44,193 messages were
received and processed (that's evidence that this is a production system).
Support for the other IP environments varies (eg. we haven't used CMU/TEK or
Fusion in years but the code is still there with #ifdef's).

I believe an earlier version is available on a Decus tape. This distribution
has these version numbers:

Mail-Daemon:
	char    *version="UWO MAIL-DAEMON(3.0) 20-Mar-91";

Mail:
	char    *version="5.14 (UWO) 4-Oct-90";

attached is the README.FIRST file for this distribution.

Directory PUB:[MAIL], this is a distribution of the UWO mailer for vax/vms.
This is a complete replacement for VAX/VMS mail so if you insist on keeping
that system .... read no further. Contents are as follows:

User Manual

   MANUAL.LPR              printable on a hammer printer [*see below*]
   MANUAL.POSTSCRIPT       printable on a PostScript printer
   MANUAL.SHAR_*           vms_share version of manual.postscript (several)

[*note*]: the file 'manual.lpr' DOESN'T print at all well on vax/vms systems
          which don't seem to understand back spaces and/or have strange
          paper length (try printing it on your favorite Unix neighbor).

          sources for this manual are NOT including in the distribution.

Sources, etc. to create the miscellaneous routines

   MISC.VERSION            version history, also found within the saveset
   MISC.SHAR_*             vms_share version of sources (several parts)

Sources, etc. to create the Message Transfer Agent:

   MTA.VERSION             version history, also found within the saveset
   MTA.SHAR_*              vms_share version of sources (several parts)

Sources, etc. to create the User Agent:

   UA.VERSION              version history, also found within the saveset
   UA.SHAR_*               vms_share version of sources (several parts)

This distribution should be extracted to create directories

   [.misc]     miscellaneous routines shared by mta and ua
   [.mta]      message transfer agent (mail-daemon)
   [.ua]       user agent

In each area there's lots of README files to get you going and a MAKE.COM
file to build things. Pay particular attention to the README.LICENCE files
-- this system is public domain, however, some conditions apply. To build
things from scratch:

   $ set default [.misc]
   $ type/page README.*,make.com      ! read first, act later.
   $ @make all
   $ set default [.mta]
   $ type/page README.*,make.com      ! read first, act later.
   $ @make all
   $ set default [.ua]
   $ type/page README.*,make.com      ! read first, act later.
   $ @make all

For installation procedures read the README's, check the MAKE.COM -- your
site will be different from ours and needs to be tailored accordingly.

Finally, if you grab this distribution PLEASE let us know that you are
using it. If you need any help PLEASE ask for it, we're willing. You can
