Machine A is networked with Wollongong TCP/IP. Machine B is connected to machine A via uucp. Sending mail from the world to user on B is possible with addresses like user%B.uucp@A (sendmail on machine A handles things properly). However, attempting mail from B to the world with addresses like A!user@... doesn't work. The uucp protocol invokes rmail on machine A which cannot handle the internet address user@.... There must be a clean solution to this (e.g., somehow invoke sendmail through the uucp protocol). Advice would be greatly appreciated! Ami Motro ami@usc
