Better, make it always queue up the outgoing mails for UUCP, but run UUCP over TCP if you are connected to the Internet, and ``classic'' UUCP while you are not connected. That's what i do, works flawlessly, and it's basically what i've been describing in the quoted FAQ entry. Well, i didn't describe the UUCP setup for UUCP over TCP, but that's simple. Simply add alternate port type tcp phone dg-rtp.dg.com ...as the last alternate for your remote system in the /etc/uucp/sys file. p.s.: It would be fine if you could convince DG to accept %@ style addressing (and generate it automatically for your outgoing mails). The bangified addresses look really terrible after the third group reply. I'm thus deleting the entire Cc list now. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
