[comp.mail.sendmail] UUX job failing when starting rmail

amd@cbnewsl.ATT.COM (al.m.desimone.jr) (04/26/89)

I have some SUN's that can't receive mail from other machines outside
of my own lan (ethernet). The machines are configured to communicate
using uucp with no problem. Sendmail will deliver mail via uucp with
a little nudging but when another Unix machine tries to send mail
to my machine (outside of my lan) the required data files get sent,
but UUX fails to complete the job. I am really a novice to the nth degree
when it comes to mail via uucp on SUN's. Please, before I lose the rest of
my mind, can someone help me to understand what's going on so that I can
possibly toubleshoot the problem. As I mentioned before, when I try to
mail outside of my lan, sendmail queues the job, but it seems to sit in
the queue forever. If it start uucico manually, the mail does get sent.
Thanks in advance for any help!
