uucp/rmail -- urgently need help!
Ok lists, I desperatly need your help.
I have been tasked with moving the company's email from a modem-based uucp
to a tcp/ip based uucp. We will make the firewall our mx, and I have
sendmail installed on it.
uucp can copy files (over tcp/ip) between speedy (an SCO 5.0.5, running
sco's honeydanber uucp) and scorch (a linux firewall, taylor uucp, sendmail
8.9.3, mostly a hand-rolled machine from before I met debian).
This error message from scorch's logs is the one causing the trouble:
uuxqt speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:25:00.10 21228) ERROR: Not permitted to
execute rmail
Here is the entry for speedy in my /etc/uucp/sys file:
system speedy
time Any
address 192.168.0.5
port TCP
chat ogin uuscorch ord big_secret
commands rmail,uux
If you have any ideas, I would *LOVE* to hear them -- the sooner the
better. (Today was supposed to be my last day here! I would like this to
work before I leave! :)
Here is a snippet from the logs, this represents a few transactions between
the two computers.
