Can anyone tell me if it is possible to configure a machine on the
Internet so that it can direct mail addressed to certain domain(s)
to a uucp queue, where it waits until a dial up connection is made
with the appropriate system?
We have uucp working Ok, but the problem is the mail system - the
following extract from the manual pages is discouraging...
The current implementation is not able to route messages automatically
through the UUCP network. Until that time you must explicitly tell the
mail system which hosts to send your message through to get to your final
destination.
Any comments would be appreciated...
