Now the fun really begins.  Its time to start looking at your sendmail
configuration file - are you using uucp exclusively to deliver your mail? 
Really fun if you don't have any documentation!  I don't know how -
but after some m4 script hacking I got mine going. 

I would think that a basic thing like getting mail and uucp going would 
be in the basic AUX documentation - but it isn't. Enjoy.
