A friend of mine told me to try this form: >ccicpg!cci632!sjfc!username@uunet.uu.net If I might rephrase your problem, mail which reached your system via a UUCP channel contains a header or return address information which can't be recognized by your user interface. Alternatively, your mail transfer agent is unable to transform a specific address into a form recognizable by UUCP. The proposed construct shown above is not universally recognized, and even where legal contains at least TWO potential routings, viz: 1) Go to site sjfc via ccicpg and ccit32, and from there follow any recognized route to uunet.uu.net; 2) Follow any recognized route to uunet.uu.net, and from there route to sjfc via ccicpg and cci632. FXmail's sdaemon and alternative rmail support the latter approach. Yet more complex hackerisms are supported in some implementations. ---------------- uunet!media!ka3ovk!raysnec!shwake shwake@rsxtech
