I'm having some problems sending and recieving mail, so I thought I'd 
ask here.

Most of the mail that comes to me has a log entry in the uu logfiles like:
rmail username

Now, sometimes I get mail, for a user on my system, of the form:
rmail system!system!...!username

however, none of the information relates to my system. How do I know it's
for one of my users? Well, I have a uucp checker that tells a user whtn
a job has been idle for a certain amount of time. I got one, checked, 
and found out that the mail *was* for someone on my system, even though
it was in the outbound queue. I am trying to determine the "right" way
to read my logs, so I'll be able to figure out what might be happening.

Please respond via email, either to gerald@csoft.uucp or
david@r-node.gts.org , because our Newsfeed is sporadic as of late, and
I don't want to miss any info. :-)
I'll be more then happy to post a followup, to summarize.

Gerald.

NOTE::  

	Gerald is operating on a Coherent system.  My memory of
Coherent was that their logging was different the normal
logging...that may have changed, in which case this note is totally
irrelavent :)
