Although I've tried to reply personally to all those who responded
to my posting about forwarding uucp's mail, this is to say thanks
to all who replied.
For the record, the HDB UUCP daemon 'uudemon.cleanu' has as its
last line:
rm -f $MAILDIR/uucp $MAILDIR/nuucp
This explains the disappearance of the mailbox containing the instructions
to forward the mail.
There's nothing to explain why this script creates mail to 'uucp' then
immediately deletes it, though. 8-)

The script should be run by uucp, possibly upon startup from cron by root for setting the ulimit: 45 23 * * * ulimit 5000;\ /bin/su uucp -c "/usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.cleanup" >/dev/null 2>&1 Uucp should *not* have the permission to remove *any* mailfile from the mailspool-directory. $ ls -ld /usr/mail drwxrwxr-x 3 bin mail 928 Jan 31 13:21 /usr/mail
