Now that I have uucp and mail working on my A/UX system there remains (at least) one more problem. Namely that whenever I finish a mail (actually mailx) session it immediately sticks in a uucp request and dials the phone etc. What I want is to have it just leave the requests around and have cron fire up uucico every N hours to poll my feed (fernwood). To allow the cron started uucico to work anytime I need an ANY on the L.sys line, but that allows mail to execute immediately as well. There must be a solution. (I'll likely have the same problem with postnews etc when I get news setup). Whats the answer? (please e-mail (in addition to or instead of posting) since I do not read all of these groups) thanks! -jrg -- internet jrg@apple.com John R.

In your sendmail.cf file, in the mailer definition for UUCP, there is a uux command line. Add the "-r" option; this tells uux to just queue the request, and not call uucico. Erik E. Fair apple!fair fair@apple.com

Thanks to all those that responded "stick a -r in the uux command in sendmail.cf". Indeed that's it, here's what to change: as root chnage the following 2 lines in /usr/lib/sendmail.m4 from: Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=msDFMhuUH, S=13, R=23, A=uux - $h!rmail ($u) into: Muucp, P=/usr/bin/uux, F=msDFMhuUH, S=13, R=23, A=uux - -r $h!rmail ($u) then do: cd /usr/lib m4 sendmail.m4 >sendmail.cf and restart sendmail or just reboot. M4 passes the two lines unaltered into sendmail.cf, but its best to modify the "source" so later chnages won't undo what you've done. -jrg -- internet jrg@apple.com John R.
