-
- If you recompile smail3 with HDB_UUCP defined, you get the -a
- flag for the built in transports.
- But, if you use a seperate transports file to override the
- compiled in transports, you have to update the transports file
- by hand.
-
- Just add the -a$sender to the uux lines in transports file in the
- smail config directory. What Ronald S. Karr said is correct; uux
- may be missing the -a flag.
-
- This works for me; I hope it works for you.
-
- Good luck,
