I would like to be able to ship mail destined for UUCP sites directly to a host that I know can handle those addresses by using the Z macro in /etc/sendmail.cf. However, it appears that I must still install /usr/bin/uux (and possibly others) even if I know that my host cannot connect to any uucp sites directly. Does anyone know if there is any way around installing the uucp software to do what I want to do? This Ultrix 4.0 (VAX) Thanks. -- Brian V.

You certainly do not need the uucp software subset to do this. You just (just!?!) need to modify your sendmail.cf file. In the ULTRIX sendmail.cf (ULTRIX 4.0 at least) there is only one line that sends mail to the uucp mailer. Change that to send it to your forwarder (that will in turn send it out whereever it is supposed to go). You also should comment out all lines that check $~Z -- there are only two and are in ruleset 0 (S0). (Do *not*define FZ -- leave it commented out.) Add a line at the beginning to define your uucp relay host for example: DZuucprelay.lbl.gov Then in ruleset 0, change R$-!$+ $#uucp$@$1$:$2 host!... To be R$-!$+ $#tcp$@$Z$:$2!$1 Refreeze yor config file and restart sendmail. Fred
