I tried it this morning and got it working fine.  What exactly was your
problem?

However I have not had any luck getting MAIL to work in a UUCP environment.
I tried to set up sendmail.cf to use UUCP, but it still fails with
"hostname lookup failed" errors.  Seems maybe it's trying to use a nameserver?
Anyone have outbound mail working on 386BSD in a UUCP environment?
