NAME

uudebat - mail batch de-batcher  

SYNOPSIS

uudebat  

DESCRIPTION

uudebat is executed by uuxqt. It is invoked when a uudebat job is received by uucp. The batch is created on the remote node, using uubatch to join multiple rmail jobs into a single uudebat job. This batching/de-batching scheme heavily reduces mail delivery cost. uudebat de-batches the rmail jobs onto the local incoming spool direcory, where they will be picked up later by uuxqt and executed as normal rmail jobs.

 

DIAGNOSTICS

Cannot cd to node's spool directory
uudebat could not cd to the machine's spool directory. This may suggest a configuration error.

Write error(s) on " file "

uudebat: system error n
