I suggest that you take your home computer and configure it as a UUCP node and practice by setting up your server to support it. Set up the home machine with the UUCP node name uujohn and your server with the UUCP node name tchnet and set up your server to accept email for any username @uujohn.tchnet.com and forward it to your home with UUCP. You can then play around and test it by doing things like the following from home: mail tchnet!uujouhn!YourUserNameAtHome This address will route the mail to UUCP node tchnet which will then route it to UUCP node uujohn (namely back to your home machine) and thence to whatever username you are using. On your home machine you can set up multiple user names. If it is a FreeBSD box that simply means multiple userids. Note that most UNIX shells treat ! specially so you may need to use mail tchnet\!uujohn\!username If your home machine is a DOS/Windows box then look for UUPC (note the spelling carefully) and use that for the uujohn node. Also, UUPC has documentation that may be easier to understand than the info files that come with Taylor UUCP. You *DO* have the info files don't you? Try searching for UUCP and/or UUPC on http://www.altavista.digital.com Remember what RTFM means? Now there is STFW, Search TF Web, for people who ask questions without spending a few minutes at AltaVista, Lycos, Webcrawler, Yahoo, etc, etc, etc. Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc.
