Hi,

It's been about two and a half years since I set up a uucp system (and it
was under SunOS) but we had a similar problem at the beginning.  I don't
remember exactly what we did, but I do know that it involved a change in
the sendmail.cf.  I also remember that the answer to this problem was in
the _Managing UUCP and Usenet_ book put out by O'Reilly (the bear book).
I believe the second edition recently came out.  I remember having all
sorts of problems until we got the bear book and after we worked through
it, our uucp connection worked flawlessly.
