	I to saw the same problem when I first installed the OS in our
6000. The message is a no @ in the SMTP address error. Seeing as the path
given to mail was machine!user I didn't expect to see an @. I played around
with the cf file with no luck so I took the easy way out and put smail 3.1
on the box.

	Right now I'm wary of anything that uses UUCP. I came across a 
problem today with uux. On our System V (actualy CTIX 6) we do remote 
prinitng by putting the line

uux -c machine!lp !$file

in the interface file in place of the usual cat $file line.


When sending files to the 6000 for this it returns a message to uucp account
that the spooler can't find /usr/spool/uucp/.Xqtdir/<filename>. Any ideas on 
this one. As well in there documentation they say that

uux -C machine!command file operates on file on the local machine. Does it 
not need a ! in front to tell it it's on the local machine?????

p.s. the solution to my first problem was to have uux takes it input from stdin

ie. cat $file | uux -c - machine!lp
