- This isn't right. I correspond with people all over the world and my paths
- database has ONLY my direct connections AND a smarthost pointer to the machine
- I use to route all other traffic through. I've never had any problem with UUCP
- refusing to send the mail.

- Perhaps you didn't define your UUCP database properly? How about letting us
