I had a month-long episode getting UUCP working with a local BBS here. I can't really get into the specifics of your setup, due to unusually heavy work load at this time, but just make sure the sysop at the BBS has carefully respected the case-sensititivity in his setup files. He had "MAILHOST" instead of "mailhost", as soon as he fixed it, voila problem solved. He was running a wildcat 4 BBS. ========================================================================= Jeffrey A.
