Hi Matti,

i just thought you would program in POSIX standard where
sigaction is prefered and where a signal handler doesn't
has to be reset. If you use POSIX (which nearly all UNIX systems
support and even OS/2) then you have to tell it your system by
defining _POSIX_SOURCE which often is used in the system header
files for #ifdef switches.
This really reduces the problems to make zmailer run on different
UNIX flavors.
