If a UUCP file times out at our site (rlgvax) before it is delivered
to the next host along the path, our uuclean program silently
discards the mail, and never notifies the originator of
the problem.  I have two questions:

	-does HoneyDanber UUCP do it right (ie notify the originator
	 of the timeout?)

	- are there any utility programs that perform a "return to
	  sender function on timed-out UUCP files queued up for outgoing
	  transmission in the UUCP spool directory"?
