I am having a very strange problem with mail. I send all my mail through uucp to uunet. When I send mail using either mail or mailx, all works well. However, when I send mail out through ELM, I receive a message back from uunet!uucp, with Subject "uuxqt cmd (rmail bseller!root) status (signal 0, exit 65). I have tried scouring the manual for an explanation of the signal 0 and status 65, but have had no luck. I tested this problem by sending myself a message with mail, and it came through fine, and then sending the same message with ELM, and then the error. I hope someone can explain what the signal and status codes mean, so perhaps I can understand why only ELM seems to break outgoing mail. Thanks, Brad Seller uunet!bseller!brad

Thanks, I don't know what the problem is, but an easy way to debug this stuff is to: 1. unplug your modem. 2. send a message with elm (make subject test1) 3. send a message with mail or mailx (subgect=test2) 4. cd /usr/spool/uucp/uunet and look though the data files to see what the differences are (and what may be causing the the problem). I am currently running elm 2.3 pl0 without any problems. (You might want to check comp.whatever.elm for patch 5 that was just posted. Maybe it has a fix for the problem) unplug your modem -- Conor P.
