Then take those sites out of your L.sys file, since uux shouldn'y legitimately be allowed to queue for them. smail is merely showing up a problem with your system, not introducing a new bug. We had exactly the same problem and I cleaned up our L.sys somewhat. (Actually, because of the overhead we don't invoke smail unless we need it. We stick with the old v7 rmail for forwarding mail; but I modified rmail so that if the uux fails, it shovels the message down to smail -R which then gets it right. Plus it sends a copy to me just in case smail didn't get it right.) David Sherman The Law Society of Upper Canada Toronto -- { uunet!mnetor pyramid!utai decvax!utcsri ihnp4!utzoo } !lsuc!dave
