Well, I took to using bash as sh when the time came to compile cnews, so that might have something to do with it. I too had problems with various defines of the form X_..._X all over but they didn't seem to hurt anything. I had to make up a new os configuration file (I can send it if need be), and compile. I had problems with the vfprintf supplied with smail (it caused a core dump) so I commented it out of the source. Other than that it seemed to work just fine. >(And I was only hoping that I could get smail to work for me better >than sendmail itself sofar has.
