I am currently using UUCP for mail and news. My host name is "prim".
I have just set up a SLIP Internet connection with a host called
"demon.co.uk". I would like to seamlessly switch over to using the
Internet for my mail and news while still being able to _receive_
mail and news queued up on the UUCP link. Does anyone have a simple
list of the steps required? I noticed that when I finally established
my first SLIP connection some mail appeared in the uucp log addressed
to "prim.demon.co.uk!postmaster" - this mail never found it's way to
my machines postmaster (root), presumably because it was looking for
a hostname "prim.demon.co.uk" instead of "prim"? I don't want to
change the hostname and mess up my current uucp link.

Thanks for any help,

Dave Griffiths
