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.
