: Looks like you've hosed your sendmail configuration.
: What does "mailq" tell you about the reason why the mails keep sitting
: in the queue?
Sorry, my note was a little unclear, what it is doing is leaving the mail
in the uucp spool directory. It recieves the mail from the UUCP host,
and dumps it in a directory under /var/spool/uucp/ named what the UUCP
host thinks my computer's name is (ie Umoto) /var/spool/uucp/Umoto I've
got subdirectories in there with execute commands (IE rmail Umoto!joeblo)
and data (messages) in them... but for some reason uucp is ont uux'ing
them, or indeed doing anything with them. It looks like it going to
forward it to another machine... I thought I had everything in UUCP set up
properly, I guess not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Jay K.
PS- sendmail doesn't know about the mail yet. mailq responds with 'Mail
queue is empty'

It's kinda frustrating when people you know remind you of things that
you've said. Especially if you were right in the first place.
