Somebody is sending out very illegal addresses. There is no such thing as a .UUCP domain, so there is no .UUCP registration authority, so there is no one to register cynic.uucp as a domain within .uucp. Your best bet is to bounce the mail back to the sender with a note explaining things. /r$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net. Use a domain-based address or give alternate paths, or you may lose out.
