Although I have used UNIX for years, I never know how to send or reply
an email by UUCP until this hits me the other day. The problem is that
I have this friend who has no way to access Internet. The only way he
can contact me is thru the UUCP. Can some of you unix wizard tell me
how can I reply a mail which has this form of addr:
user@node.uucp or
company!user@cs.university.edu
Thanx a lot,
ps. Please reply to tik@eceyv.nscu.edu. I seldom read this newsgroup,
since I am not an unix wizard.shwake@raysnec.UUCP (Ray Shwake) (01/15/91)

A friend of mine told me to try this form: >ccicpg!cci632!sjfc!username@uunet.uu.net If I might rephrase your problem, mail which reached your system via a UUCP channel contains a header or return address information which can't be recognized by your user interface. Alternatively, your mail transfer agent is unable to transform a specific address into a form recognizable by UUCP. The proposed construct shown above is not universally recognized, and even where legal contains at least TWO potential routings, viz: 1) Go to site sjfc via ccicpg and ccit32, and from there follow any recognized route to uunet.uu.net; 2) Follow any recognized route to uunet.uu.net, and from there route to sjfc via ccicpg and cci632. FXmail's sdaemon and alternative rmail support the latter approach. Yet more complex hackerisms are supported in some implementations. ---------------- uunet!media!ka3ovk!raysnec!shwake shwake@rsxtech
