+# @(#)README 8.1 (Berkeley) 2/17/98
+
+This directory contains the source files for mail.local.
+
+This is not intended to be used on *stock* System V derived systems such as
+Solaris or HP-UX, since they use a totally different approach to mailboxes
+(essentially, they have a setgid program rather than setuid, and they rely
+on the ability to "give away" files to do their work).
+
+If you choose to run *this* mail.local on these systems then you may also
+need to replace the existing MUAs, as well as IMAP and POP servers, with
+ones that are compatible with the BSD interface. You have been warned!
