Hello

I am running FreeBSD 2.1.0. Often when I receive mail, there is
a message like this:

----------- begin quote ---------------------


Message from UUCP on vas Tue Nov 26 21:06:00 1996

A UUCP execution request failed:
        rmail victor@vas.tomsk.su
The request was made by
        mpeks!daemon
The following files have been saved:
        /var/spool/uucp/.Failed/mpeks/X./X.mpeksN00AW
        /var/spool/uucp/.Failed/mpeks/D./D.mpeksN00AW


----------- end quote ---------------------

Also, at such moments sendmail says to the console:

sendmail[394]: VAB00394: SYSERR(UUCP): errbody: I/O error: Connection refused.

I do not actually lose mail, though. It is delivered to my
mailbox, but it is also put to the .Failed directory.

What is it?

I would very much appreciate any help.
