Here on a Convergent Tech with HDB, there is a program (uucleanup) which does this. Now, if only I can convince it that stuff being forwarded thru us isn't from 'ucp'.... (working on that). You can generally do this (for UUCP queued stuff) by looking thru command files that are N days old and, if they are mail, then fire a note to the sender saying that the mail is delayed. To avoid mail loops, you should both recognize and implement messages that say 'DO NOT NOTIFY' when you do this. -- ------------- Stephen Samuel (userzxcv@ualtamts.bitnet or alberta!edm!steve) (Only in Canada, you say??.... Pity!)
