here's what i suggested to visenix!beattie in private mail.  on the
honey danber side, do this:

cd /usr/spool/uucp
mkdir longname
/etc/link longname longnam
chown uucp longname
mkdir longname/.unremovable

the mkdir prevents any cleanup daemon from removing the directories.
it may or may not be necessary to add longnam to Systems -- depending
on how badly broken the other side's mailer is -- but it can't hurt.

on bsd systems running honey danber, or replace /etc/link with ln -s.

for the record, rick suggests that honey danber acquire the bsd
aliasing trick, and i tend to agree.
