I have a friend who is trying to set up uucp (version 1.1)
with no PATHS. file (or at least a small one).  He doesn't
want to keep all the map files out there, and he connects
to a smart mailer (uunet).

How do you do this?  Thanks

I don't think anyone has done what you want -- probably because the
information just isn't there.

The Mail Handler itself does not provide any logging. I plan to provide
that in a future release.

Other components of the package do log some things. From this you can
kind of cobble up some of what you want but it might not really be
useful.

UUXQT logs command execution by logging the actual requested command.
In other words, all of the inbound rmail commands are logged by UUXQT.

1) Pull the entries out of UUCP.LOG with

	search uucp_log:uucp.log "exec","rmail"/match=and /output=x.x

2) Clean up the output using SED, ie:

	mcr uucp_bin:sed -e "s/^.*rmail \([^ ]*\).*/\1/" x.x

This would leave you with just the list of addresses -- as they arrived
at your machine -- from the logged rmail commands. For example, this
morning I did this and got (sanitized for MY protection :-):

	xyz@x1456.inland.com
	kenblaze
	allebrandi
	abc@pa61a.inland.com
	jeff@a881.inland.com
	fred@p310m.inland.com
	fred%p310m.inland.com
	xyz@x1456.inland.com
	...

Caveats:

1) This is for inbound messages only.

2) There is no way to distinguish retries from first tries. For
example, the second xyz@x1456.inland.com was actualy a retry of a
failed message.

3) Any route through that occurs due to a forwarding entry or a rewrite
rule will not appear.


The UUCICO_CALLOUT daemon logs request messages that arrive via the 
doorbell lock or the request mailbox. The outbound side of the Mail
Handler -- which is invoked for locally generated mail or for route
through mail -- does generate request messages.

You can handle these using the same technique as above, substitute
"rqst" for "exec" in the search command:

	search uucp_log:uucp.log "rqst","rmail"/match=and /output=x.x

Caveats:

1) The Mail Handler generates the request message for the purpose of
possibly getting an early workscan from the daemon. There are all kinds
of reasons that the message might not get sent. Since this function is
not critically important, we don't really care.

2) The message sent from the Mail Handler only contains the name of the
neighboring host who is next in line to receive the mail. The senders
name and the actual delivery path do not appear in the message.

BTW. After mucking with the modem, (A DEC "SCHOLAR"(TM)PLUS),
we are 90% certain that the problem is fixed and was indeed
a problem with CONTROl-S being handled in some way by the modem itself.

Of course, the problem started happening "all of a sudden" using
some old modem we had. Which is why I switched in the Scholar.
Which seemed to work better, but not always.

We saved a file to MAIL to try and make a test that can be reproduced
at will.

The problem I have is with obi2. When someone on obi2 does a reply to a News
article or I try to mail to s4mjs or uunet, uucp tries to send it directly to
uunet or s4mjs from obi2. The problem is obi2 has no direct connection to
either system, obi2 must go through ttsystem, and the jobs sit in the spool
directory until I manually modify them.
Below is a copy of my map file for obi2. I am running Decus UUCP v2.0 and VMS

Dick's answer is correct. However, I would add one more peice of
advice. Tell your friend to get the latest version. smart-host didn't
always work properly in the early days... I don't remember when it
became reliable.

Are you current in the maps?  Are these nodes current on their maps?
One node probably doesn't know about you and sends mail to the other 
which computes the next hop as node 1.

Not that much of a summary... I want to know which users and systems 
are using uucp mail and how much.  UURATE just tells me how many incomings,
not where they went.

I guess I'm looking for info necessary for chargebacks. I'm not planning
on doing chargebacks, but would like to know who is using the link for
ammo when I need to justify its cost.

This one was my fault.  I fired up UCX without disabling the MX domain
expander---all mail for WKUVX1 was sent to my Internet gateway a few
times.  This happened for an hour or so yesterday.  Sorry for the

Piece of cake.  You do need a paths file, albeit a small one.  Build it
from whatever information is necessary to establish UUCP connectivity to
the neighbor and add one extra line:

smart-host =    hostname

where hostname is the UUCP host name of the neighbor.

All mail whose address cannot be resolved locally will be sent to the
smart host.

For example:

smart-host =    uunet
thehulk         uunet(demand)

is sufficient to establish uunet at the smart host for thehulk.

Hope this helps.

I thought I would try:

JOE?USER    JUSER
or
JOE*USER    JUSER

. . . thinking that even though the pattern couldn't contain an embedded
space, the string it's matching should be able to.  However this apparently
is not the case.  It would be nice if this were explained in the doc.

I have data coming in from an IBM system (unsure which model) that is
character, integer, and floating.  I can handle the first two easily, and
I already know about reording the bytes and words to convert to VAX use.
Folating point numbers are a bit trickier, though.  Does anybody have or
know about some software program/subroutine/code fragment that can convert
from IBM format floating point to VAX format floating point?  If so, email
me, post it, or give me a pointer to the source.  Thanks.

Well, Harry Flowers suggested the following;

The ncp database defines HULK as:

Node Volatile Summary as of 29-SEP-1992 11:51:43

Executor node = 1.1 (HULK)

State                    = on
Identification           = DECnet-VAX V5.4-1,  VMS V5.4-2

The SCS node name is HULK and the SCS system is 1025 (which from my tribal
recollection is correct (area*1024+decimal = DECNET NODE NUMBER)

I tried adjusting the protections on the various SYS$SYSTEM:NET*.DAT
files with no effect (as expected).  I also tried replacing the HULK
designation by 1025 (the decnet node number) with no joy.

I CAN get it to work by using *::NEWSMGR in the security settings (or *::*)
which works for me (in my shop, security isn't an issue), but I'm still
immensely puzzled by why the checking for the node is messing up.  I have to
assume that it has SOMETHING to do with the way DECnet/DECWindows is
configured, but what in the world it could be is a really question.

Still stumped, but making progress.
