Our organization is currently receiving billing transmissions nightly, because
of the load imposed on our system to do this.  We have people out in the field
that perpare a "transmission file", and then, late at night, that transmission
file gets sent to us. The uucp jobs and the corresponding uux's that create
them have grades of 0-9, depending on the day of the week.

My question is this:  Is it possible to have a UUCP transaction take place,
and have it *NOT* send everything that is queued up?  I would like to have
mail transfer back and forth throughout the day, but keep the transmissions
coming in at night.  All machines are running SCO Unix.

Here is what I have tried:

In the smail config file:

grades = "special-delivery:9:air-mail:A:first-class:C:express:Z:bulk:a:junk:n"
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^

In the host Systems file:

Remote Any/Z,Any2300-2301 Direct 19200 111111 --gin:--gin:--gin: blah sword: password


In the remote Systems file:

dadsite Any/Z,Any2300-2301 Direct 19200 111111 --gin:--gin:--gin: blah sword: password


No matter what grade I provide, all uucp transactions are transferred whenever
a connection is made... :(.  How can this be changed?  Or can it be changed?
