UUMAIL(8)                        UNIX System V                        UUMAIL(8)


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).

      -om             The -om option causes the mail to also be sent to the
                      sender of the message.

      -oc             The -oc option causes uucico to be started immediately
                      after queuing the mail.  The default just queues the
                      mail.

      -N              The -N option stops the use of uuname to determine
                      neighboring hosts. Only the information in the database
                      will be used for routing information.

      -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
      -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.

FILES
      /usr/lib/uucp/paths{.pag|.dir}
                          Path file produced by pathalias.
