Well I'm no uucp guru, but I've had it running here for quite some time and never seen this. However.... I've just had a bit of a look through the source, and found the ixsspawn routine. It looks as though uuxqt can't spawn the process required to process the outstanding request - rmail apparently. I'd suggest making sure that you have a good rmail executable, and that the permissions are such that user uucp can execute it. On my uucp box, running 2.2.6R, /bin/rmail is 555 bin:bin. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
