I can't really think Nah, I knew that wasn't it - and it does happen with other systems. I captured uuxqt's debugging output in the uuxqt wrapper script. The problem is not consistent - mail works, and then doesn't, from the same site, to the same user (different uuxqt runs). I'm afraid I don't know enough about uuxqt internals to figure out what's going on. The only time uuxqt is ever executed is forked from uucico. Here's the output which demonstrates the problem. The first case shows the bad command line, ...TZ=`/bin/cat rmail zog, while the second one shows ...TZ=EST5EDT rmail zog. ** START ** User - uucp process file - . file - .. file - .XQTDIR file - SYSLOG file - AUDIT file - hidden-x-files file - LOGDEL file - LCK.WXQT file - uuxqt.out file - X.intaccN875f U uucp mnetor # return status on failure Z # return address for status or input return R uucp F D.mneto415b072 I D.mneto415b072 C rmail zog xfile - X.intaccN875f fin - /usr/spool/uucp/D.mneto415b072, fout - /dev/null, sysout - intacc, user - uucp cmd - rmail zog cmd = rmail cmd PATH=/bin:/usr/bin LOGNAME=uucp TZ=`/bin/cat rmail zog shio - PATH=/bin:/usr/bin LOGNAME=uucp TZ=`/bin/cat rmail zog cat: cannot open rmail cat: cannot open zog status 512 exit cmd - 512 file - . file - .. file - .XQTDIR file - SYSLOG file - AUDIT file - D.intaccXA0004 file - hidden-x-files file - LOGDEL file - LCK.WXQT file - uuxqt.out file - LOGFILE file - o.SYSLOG.Z file - o.Log-WEEK.Z file - D.mnetorBC0004 file - LCK.XQT file - C.mnetorAD0004 ** START ** User - uucp process file - . file - .. file - .XQTDIR file - SYSLOG file - AUDIT file - LOGFILE file - hidden-x-files file - LOGDEL file - X.intaccN8760 U uucp mnetor # return status on failure Z # return address for status or input return R uucp F D.mneto469b170 I D.mneto469b170 C rmail zog xfile - X.intaccN8760 fin - /usr/spool/uucp/D.mneto469b170, fout - /dev/null, sysout - intacc, user - uucp cmd - rmail zog cmd = rmail cmd PATH=/bin:/usr/bin LOGNAME=uucp TZ=EST5EDT rmail zog shio - PATH=/bin:/usr/bin LOGNAME=uucp TZ=EST5EDT rmail zog status 0 exit cmd - 0 file - . file - .. file - .XQTDIR file - SYSLOG file - AUDIT file - LOGFILE file - hidden-x-files file - LOGDEL file - o.SYSLOG file - uuxqt.out file - o.Log-WEEK.Z file - LCK.WXQT file - LCK.XQT =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Jeff Mann Inter/Access Artists' Computer Centre, Toronto [416] 535-8601 | | intacc!mann@cs.toronto.edu Matrix Artists' BBS: [416] 535-7598 2400 8N1 | | ...uunet!mnetor!intacc!mann mann@intacc.uucp [416] 535-1443 Telebit 8N1 | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
