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.

same as above with the addition of a domain specifier like
.ARPA, .GOV, .COM, .EDU
