Granted that as uucp administrator, you have to unblock the queues by hand,
I think that over 95% of the time you don't have to read other people's mail
to do this. I can get enough info most of the time by using "head" to just
look at the mail headers. A lot of these problems would go away if uucp could
generate a correct return path for stuff it can't deliver instead of just
sending it to "uucp" at the last site.

I'm actually *grateful* to other SA's for forwarding misdirected mail that
was intended for me even if it means that they have had to read it to find
out where to send it - and I'd feel the same way about real (paper) mail.
