Does anybody know which email system source code on UNIX is free?
I want to change the email program interface and functionality. I am
wondering where I can get the free source code and change it.

I run a unix-based OS and don't know what an "email system"
is.
You prabably mean "MTA" (Mail Transfer Agent).
And I am pretty sure you mean "open source", not "free".

I doubt very much that you even know what the SMTP protocol is.

On the Web.
If it isn't open source, then you aren't going to be able
get it at all, obviously.

If you can't even use a real newsreader, you are way over your
head here.
Not to mention that you could find the answer to your question
on google in a blink, which is what it is SUPPOSED to be used
for.
Typical google poster: Lazy and ignorant and pretending to
be a pro.

You don't know a lot of things, Beavis.

No, Beavis, he means â=9Cfreeâ=9D.

Do you?

You heard it from the expert.

Typical Beavis: leave town after getting spanked, for a couple of weeks,
then come back and ask for more.

Not sure what you mean by "email system", but the SMTP server/client known
as "sendmail" has always been freely available (under very specific
licensing terms, that is) at http://sendmail.org

That would be the Beavis FAQ, Q #9, right? By the way, Beavis, your mum
wants to know how you're doing. Here's your mum's web site:
http://www.geocities.com/suhatrasabib/
FAQ: Canonical list of questions Beavis refuses to answer (V1.40)
This is a canonical list of questions that Beavis never answers. This FAQ is
posted on a semi-regular schedule, as circumstances warrant.
For more information on Beavis, see:
http://angel.1jh.com/nanae/kooks/alanconnor.shtml
Although Beavis has been posting for a long time, he always remains silent
on the subjects enumerated below. His response, if any, usually consists of
replying to the parent post with a loud proclamation that his Usenet-reading
software runs a magical filter that automatically identifies anyone who's
making fun of him, and hides those offensive posts. For more information
see question #9 below.
============================================================ ================
1) If spammers avoid forging real E-mail addresses on spam, then where do
all these bounces everyone reports getting (for spam with their return
address was forged onto) come from?
2) If your Challenge-Response filter is so great, why do you still munge
when posting to Usenet?
3) Do you still believe that rsh is the best solution for remote access?
(http://tinyurl.com/5qqb6)
4) What is your evidence that everyone who disagrees with you, and thinks
that you're a moron, is a spammer?
5) How many different individuals do you believe really post to
comp.mail.misc? What is the evidence for your paranoid belief that everyone,
except you, who posts here is some unknown arch-nemesis of yours?
6) How many times, or how often, do you believe is necessary to announce
that you do not read someone's posts? What is your reason for making these
regularly-scheduled proclamations? Who do you believe is so interested in
keeping track of your Usenet-reading habits?
7) When was the last time you saw Bigfoot (http://tinyurl.com/23r3f)?
8) If your C-R system employs a spam filter so that it won't challenge spam,
then why does any of the mail that passes the filter, and is thusly presumed
not to be spam, need to be challenged?
9) You claim that the software you use to read Usenet magically identifies
any post that makes fun of you. In http://tinyurl.com/3swes you explain
that "What I get in my newsreader is a mock post with fake headers and no
body, except for the first parts of the Subject and From headers."
Since your headers indicate that you use slrn and, as far as anyone knows,
the stock slrn doesn't work that way, is this interesting patch to slrn
available for download anywhere?
10) You regularly post alleged logs of your procmail recipe autodeleting a
bunch of irrelevant mail that you've received. Why, and who exactly do you
believe is interested in your mail logs?
11) How exactly do you "enforce" an "order" to stay out of your mailbox,
supposedly (http://tinyurl.com/cs8jt)? Since you issue this "order" about
every week, or so, apparently nobody wants to follow it. What are you going
to do about it?
12) What's with your fascination with shit? (also http://tinyurl.com/cs8jt)?
13) You complain about some arch-nemesis of yours always posting forged
messages in your name. Can you come up with even a single URL, as an example
of what you're talking about?
14) You always complain about some mythical spammers that pretend to be
spamfighters (http://tinyurl.com/br4td). Who exactly are those people, and
can you post a copy of a spam that you supposedly received from them, that
proves that they're really spammers, and not spamfighters?

Gee, Beavis, you don't run an MTA, you're just a luser with a POP
account. And you don't know much about the SMTP protocol. Have you had
any luck getting the Bcc: option removed from SMTP? Hehe.
