I did the same thing with like results. I also made several changes to
sbr/addrsbr.c, uip/scansbr.c and uip/post.c so that
1) Addresses are rewitten to internet style addresses when mtstailor
says to.
2) UUCP sites can make use of a domain which is attached to any machine
that the local machine talks to directly (ihlpb!gregg becomes
gregg@ihlpb.att.com)
3) When a UUCP style message is read by scan(), From: Date: and To: lines
are inserted into the message if they are missing (/bin/mail only
inserts a UUCP "From " line here).
4) send/post accept a -domain/-nodomain switch which allows you to
change the header addressing format on the fly.
5) A uux gateway site can be specified which allows all unknown hosts
to be processed logically (in a domain method, pass the buck if
you don't know about this domain level).
