I now have mail distribution of the Amiga groups, which I then batch up for the Cleveland Amiga User's Group with an AREXX macro. I have two problems with the UUCP. First, I can't figure out how to setup the mail aliases properly. I am getting multiple copies of my mail. The relevant aliases look like this: # # User # # send mail for foo to foo and also archive it. #bill: \bill, >uumail:bill1 wfhami!bill: \bill, >uumail:bill2 wfhami.UUCP!bill: \bill, >uumail:bill3 bill@wfhami.UUCP: \bill, >uumail:bill4 I have tried numerous versions of these (I have been home with the flu) and have concluded that I don't understand what I am doing so I'll never get it right. This arragement usually results in two copies of mail to me. Other variants got anywhere from 0 to 4 with some wild ones (recurive aliases) getting 20 or so. Any help would be appreciated. The second problem is more confusing. I can't postnews using PostNews which came with the UUCP 1.00D. The message looks like it is composed properly and shows up in my spool directory and when the uucico connection is made is sent, but then it goes into the bit bucket to never be seen again. Any ideas? Please followup to wfhami!bill. I like getting mail and right now I get at least two of every messages. :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Hogsett CLEVELAND AREA-AMIGA USERS' GROUP (CA-AUG) ncoast!bill ncoast!wfhami!bill (216) 292-4404 (BBS) 20876 Almar Drive Shaker Heights, OH 44122 I get paid for my legal opinions, but 216-295-1624 I'd really rather talk about my Amiga.
