- This sounds like uux is being called without "-a <sender>", so that
- mail is being returned to the user that invoked smail, which was
- "bluemoon". I suggest that you recompile smail with the line:
-
- HAVE=HDB_UUCP
-
- in the conf/EDITME file. This will cause smail to use the -a flag
- to indicate the real message sender, so that uucp-generated bounce
- messages will be sent to the real message sender. However, look
- at the HAVE section in the EDITME file for changes that you will
- need to make in the /etc/uucp/Grades file for SVR4.0.
