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.

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.
