Hi!

On our Sequent derived Sinix machine with it's hybrid universes, I've
noticed a funny problem.

I've been using the cron from the Berkeley universe to start uucp
transfers, polling mail and news from our feed.
This is still the old style with just a /usr/lib/crontab file for control.

Now I wanted to switch to the one provided with the ATT universe, which allows
user specific crontabs in a /usr/spool/cron/crontabs directory.

The transfers worked fine. But now I always got an additional header
prefixed to all mails, stating that the mail was sent by uucp, thus
making r)eply to a mail invalid.

Is this normal behaviour?

Any hints gratefully accepted
Mike
