Is it possible to reroute backlogged mail in uucp? For instance, if a have x messages batched up to go to site A and A goes down, can I reroute those messages through site B to get them off the system (rather than letting them die)? Thanks. -- Clay Luther, Postmaster cluther@supernet.haus.com Harris Adacom Corporation cluther@enigma.haus.com Voice: 214/386-2356 MS 23, PO Box 809022, Dallas, Tx 75380-9022 Fax: 214/386-2159 Your mileage may vary.
