   I am a UNIX novice and just now setting up my 386i SUN as a stand-alone
workstation,   but for some reason,  I'm unable to get the "mail" to work
properly using UUCP to another site.    I get the following when I send mail
to another site:

$ mail -v acad!owen
Subject: test
This is a test
Cc:
$ acad!owen... Connecting to acad via uucp...
uux failed. code -1
acad!owen... unknown mailer error 255
Saving message in /home/crunch/dead.letter
/home/crunch/dead.letter... Sent

   I set up the L.sys files properly,  and tested them with uucico manually,
and the UUCP connection works just fine,   it's when I use "mail" that causes
the real problem.   Does anyone out there know whats going on??
