  This belongs on freebsd-ports, not on hackers.

  The smail in ports is rather old too.  3.2 is the latest release, and is
available on ftp.uu.net  

  I wouln't want to see the Smail port remove or move system binaries.  A
small note on making symlinks for sendmail/rmail/mailq should be
sufficient.
