[net.bugs.uucp] uux to the wrong site

bstempleton (10/17/82)

For a long time I have noticed X. files showing up in my uucp spool
directory that were meant for other sites.  Most notably, we get
X.decvax* files that are for rnews, but refer to data files on sites
like cca and genradbolton.
We still get these even though we don't exchange news with decvax any more.
I have seen other sites get this too.  Any ideas.
?

one strange thing that has happened to us at least two times
is that ucbvax has called us up thinking we were sdcsvax the
first time and ucsfcgl the second. my theory is that their
dialer didn't get reset and redialed the last number that it
had dialed.
