[comp.mail.uucp] UUCP mail problem in bkgnd

austin@spies.sf-bay.org (Glenn Austin) (11/24/90)

I am having some problems in getting my UUCP mail up and running.  Whenever I
log in and poll my feed from my "fake" UUCP account, all incoming mail gets
correctly mailed to the local users.  However, if mail arrives while UUCP is
NOT the user, all local mail requests fail with:

  ret (1000) from host!daemon (MAIL FAIL)

I've tracked it down to where my UUCP attempts to XQT rmail user, with the
message coming from XQT, but I haven't found a way (short of logging in twice
a day as nuucp) to prevent this from happening.  I'm running A/UX 2.0 with
the stock sendmail and smail 2.51 (with the correct sendmail.cf).

Thanks in advance,
Glenn Austin
