CHARTER

   comp.mail.smail will be an unmoderated newsgroup for discussion of porting,
   using, configuring and administering the smail electronic mail transport
   agent (MTA).  It is primarily intended for smail 3 or later systems but
   older smail 2.5 questions may be also be included in the subject of the
   newsgroup.

Smail is a mail transport agent (MTA) which has been freely available for Unix
systems for years.  It has been used by some who chose to replace the MTA
which was included with their OS or by others who had to find an MTA for an OS
that didn't include one.  Recently smail has picked up more momentum with its
acceptance as the official GNU e-mail transport system and its inclusion in
most of the distributions of Linux.  An e-mail poll in January 1994 was held
to guage potential interest, receiving 120 responses: 116 yes and 4 no.  Since
polls usually have a smaller response than votes, the official newsgroup
proposal was begun.
