As distributed, uurec (used to process news received by a mail link) doesn't recognize the way 'sendmail' creates its headers; it expects 'From ' instead of 'From:'. If no 'From' line is detected, it spills its processed input to stdout, rather than passing it through 'popen' to 'rnews'. This wasn't fixed in 2.11, so I guess I'll have to keep using what I have used under 2.10, namely, a shell file containing: exec sed -n 's/^N//p' | rnews If you read this article, it means this scheme works under 2.11. -- Amos Shapir National Semiconductor (Israel) 6 Maskit st.

By definition (see RFC 976), UUCP mail messages start with a line that begins 'From '. Sendmail can create headers of this nature. Just define the "u" flag in the F field (e.g. F=DFMu). If the UUCP mail you are receiving does not begin with a 'From ' line, someone's software is broken. Stan
