In this article, I present:

	1. A query about the specific details of the report above.
	2. A query about why uucp gives trouble on my system.

What is your system set-up like there?  Are you running async lines
or ethernet cards?  When you send the mail from the 4.2 machine,
does the /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE indicate a request was queued?
Given that it does, does /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE indicate the
XENIX machine got the message?  We had a very nice mail network 
built with async lines that allowed two-way mail with our Sun net;
we broke this two-way mail when we added ethernet cards.

My problem here is that our Sun thinks it can send mail to the
XENIX machine on the ethernet because the XENIX machine has an 
address in /etc/hosts.  The XENIX machine does not have a server
listening, however, as near as we can tell.  Any help?
