MAIL FAIL - ???

I keep getting these messages in my uucp LOGFILE about MAIL FAIL, and messages
like these being sent back to root on the machine that sent the mail:

	From uucp  Sun Mar 10 04:02:54 1991 remote from intacc
	Received: by intacc (5.61/SMI-3.2)
		id AA02693; Sun, 10 Mar 91 04:02:54 PST
	Date: Sun, 10 Mar 91 04:02:54 PST
	From: intacc!uucp (0000-UUCP Admin(0000))
	Message-Id: <9103101202.AA02693 at intacc>
	To: yunexus!root

	Mail failed (PATH=/bin:/usr/bin LOGNAME=uucp TZ=`/bin/cat rmail mann ). 
	Letter returned to sender.

I can't figure this out. Notice the TZ=`/bin/cat rmail mann - this should 
obviously be TZ=`/bin/cat /etc/TIMEZONE` rmail mann - where does this come
from, and how does it get truncated? Is it part of uuxqt (wouldn't be
surprised considering how f**ed up uuxqt is...)

The weird thing is that it only happens with mail from one system (yunexus);
my other mail feeds seem to work fine...
