[comp.mail.sendmail] 'uurec' usage with sendmail

mml@magnus.UUCP (Mike Levin) (03/22/89)

Having recently gotten sendmail working on my 3B1, I want to be able to
provide several down-stream neighbors who are NOT running 'news' with
subscriptions to several groups.  In order to do this, I determined
that there is no problem in routing received articles in several groups
out to them via uucp.  HOWEVER, I was under the impression that the
'uurec' script provided with 'news' would also allow me to provide them
with the capability of posting news via uucp mail sent to a special
destination on my system which is aliased to "|/usr/local/lib/news/uurec".
I tried this, and what I get is a message from inews indicating that
it had attempted to receive news, but that it was garbled.  

	What am I doing wrong, or am I mis-understanding the purpose of
'uurec', or am I not aliasing correctly, or. . .
