I've managed to get UUCP working, but I'm having problems trying to get sendmail to process the mail spool files once they've arrived on my NeXTstation. Mail files from the mail relay machine just end up in the X. and TM. directories without geting any further. Also, if I try to send mail using "mail -v", I get the following error messages. joerg@bdc.ubc.ca... Connecting to bdcsun via uucp... can't get working directory; will try to continue uux failed. code -1 joerg@bdc.ubc.ca... unknown mailer error 255 joerg/dead.letter... Sent I've checked the sendmail configuration and it appears to be forwarding things correctly. I've also played with the permissions on the UUCP spooling directories without getting anywhere. If anyone has any suggestions on how I might diagnose this little problem, I'd love to hear from you. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Joerg Messer joerg@bdc.ubc.ca Biosciences Data Centre 2204 Main Mall University of British Columbia Ph: (604) 228-6527 Vancouver, Canada, V6T 1W5 Fax: (604) 228-2416 -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Joerg Messer joerg@bdc.ubc.ca Biosciences Data Centre 2204 Main Mall
