Oh yes, I mercifully forgot about how flaky it got with junk files
clogging things up and the clean-up scripts I wrote.  They were for my
employer and I no longer have copies.

Why are you sticking with MMDF, just the cost of migration, or are you
stuck using SCO anyway?

If your main limitation is the mailstore format for delivered mail, note
that Exim also supports that format so can be used as a drop-in
upgrade replacement with appropriate configuration.

(I believe Exim also compiles on SCO -- there's Makefile and OS header
support for the platform but I don't know how extensively it's tested).

(Yes, there are other MTAs but I don't know if they have mailstore
support)
