This is probably an FAQ, and I am sure I read somewhere how to do this easily, but I thought I'd ask anyway .... I have an Internet style mailing setup with minimal mods to sendmail.cf and using the MX version of sendmail under SunOs 4.1.2. I don't have uucp set up, and whenever mail inadvertantly gets directed to a uucp style address I get the following sort of thing ... ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Cannot exec '/usr/bin/uux' errno=13 554 site!name... Service unavailable This is not surprising, reading throught the rules in sendmail.cf. Now I gather that if I could make sendmail forward all such messages to a site that can do uucp stuff, eg. munnari.oz.au, by mapping the address to something like "site!name@uucp.munnari.oz.au" then I am set. I presume there is a "standard" way to do this with the sendmail.cf that is supplied by Sun ... I am loathe to go hacking at it myself in an uninformed fashion ! david
