   Well, the config files are certainly more readable in smail,
but you still have to deal with the same sort of things. I used it
a while back because I was working with a UUCP link, and smail
seems more UUCP-oriented, not to mention the fact that I could
configure it without actually reading a book on it. BTW, this was
on an old 386BSD 0.1+patchkit box.
