uucpmail

[Darrell Tyler_1]

Morning,

Below is what I’m looking at in my email. The actual server name has been replaced by “server.name”. There is nothing in cron that references this nor am I having any luck trying to find references to uucpmail in other directories.

uucp stands for "unix to unix copy protocol".


I know it is controlled (can be turned off and on) via inetd.conf, but I'm not sure what processes it is used by.

Not an easy one - especially since uucp is closed.
