Can >anyone help me figure out what's happening to these messages? This actually sounds more like a sendmail problem than an UUCP one. It does indeed appear that the messages are getting transmitted as you suspect. Here are some things to check: 1. Does the "rmail" binary exist, and is it runnable by the uucp user? Be sure it's in a standard location in the path (/bin or /usr/bin would be a good place). 2. Make sure sendmail is running (check /etc/rc.conf). 3. Make sure sendmail is configured to "know" about UUCP. TO do this, look at the example sendmail configuration files (see /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf. If thsi directory doesn't exist, install the "src" distribution). - --- Donald Burr <dburr@POBoxes.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
