Using the name Smail would be a seriously bad move. Smail is known
to most as the mailer Linux users have, 'that can't do MX
delivery'. It can, of course, but one of the really popular
distributions didn't set it up right. That, rightly or wrongly,
has given Smail a bad reputation and predjudices stick around.
