[comp.mail.uucp] MAILOUT.EXE and UFGATE troubles

mju@m-net.UUCP (Marc Unangst) (01/16/89)

I've been playing around with the UFGATE UUCP <-> Fidonet package, and
I've been fairly impressed.  If I can get it to work reliably, I
may junk UUPC and use UFGATE.  However, there's one "minor" hitch:
I can't get it to properly export mail.  I'm using the MSGED message
editor/reader, and UFGATE release 1.02.  I create a message with
MSGED, in the directory defined on the "Mail" line in UFGATE.CTL.
The message is from me (Marc Unangst), and is to "Uucp on 1:120/89.1",
which is my zone:net/node.point number.  On the first line of the
message, I put "To: mju@m-net.ann-arbor.mi.us" (m-net.ann-arbor.mi.us
is defined as an Alias to "m-net" in my UFGATE.CTL file).  I then
leave a blank line, and begin my message.  I save it, and then
exit from MSGED, and call MAILOUT (with no parameters).  It says

C:\UFGATE\BIN>mailout

When I try "mailout -dcon" (to re-direct the debugging output to the
console), I get:

C:\UFGATE\BIN>mailout -dcon

I've checked the Mail directory (C:\UFGATE\SPOOL\MAIL), and the message
is there.  I've tried replacing the To: line with 
"^AUUCP mju@m-net.ann-arbor.mi.us" (with the "^A" replaced with an
ASCII 0x01), but that doesn't work either.  What am I doing wrong?
(I did get it to transfer *once*, but now I can't re-produce that.)
