I also > don't see the need for a UUCP account in this day and age. UUCP is the only reliably working (and fully automated/automatable) batch file transmission protocol. The Internet has absolutely not been designed for dialup sites. I'm getting all my mails, CTM deltas etc. via UUCP (which is sometimes run over TCP if i happen to be directly connected to the Internet by that time). I probably had a much harder day if UUCP weren't available. David's problem is Data General's mailer setup at dg-rtp. As i understand it, he's using this service for free (and withouth the agreement to receive spam :), and nobody's ever going change anything on DG's side... ;-) (I used to have similar address mangling problems back in the time when my employer used DG machines, until i revamped the sendmail.cf from scratch.) -- 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. ;-)
