NAME

uumail - rewrite address & route mail using uucpmap database
uupath - print the uucp path to a host  

SYNOPSIS

uumail [ options ] address
uupath hostname  

DESCRIPTION

Uumail is designed to be used as a mail delivery program to correctly route mail over uucp connections.  

Standard Options

-faddress
The -f option sets the address of the sender of the mail. If this flag is not used, the sender will be established by usings environmental variables (like LOGNAME and USER ) or using getlogin(3).
-m
The -m option causes the mail to also be sent to the sender of the message.
-c
The -c option causes uucico to be started immediately after queuing the mail. The default just queues the mail.
-h
The -h option causes no From_ line to be added to the beginning of file. This is useful when uumail is being used as a mailer for sendmail(8).
 

Compile-time Configurable Options

-d[1-6]
The -d option turns on the limited debugging facility built into the mailer. In debug mode, the mailer does not actually mail anything, but tells you what it would do if it did do it. The level of debugging can be set by following the -d flag with a number between 1 and 6.
-g[A-Z]
If your uux(1) supports grading of transactions, the -g option can be used to set the grade of this mail. A grade of C is used by default.

 

Arguments

host!user
where host is a system node name on the network and user is the login name of the addressee.
user@host.domain
same as above with the addition of a domain specifier like .ARPA, .GOV, .COM, .EDU etc.
