Usually, mail to hosts with fully-qualified domain names is delivered via
|
|
Internet style (SMTP) delivery using Domain Name Service (DNS), or via the
|
|
relay host. The uucpxtable forces delivery via UUCP routing by
|
|
converting the domainized name into a UUCP-style un-domainized remote
|
|
hostname.
|
|
<P>
|
|
It is frequently used when you're a mail forwarder for a site or domain or
|
|
when you wish to send mail via a direct and reliable UUCP link rather than
|
|
potentially multiple hops through the default mailer and any intermediate
|
|
systems and networks.
|
|
<P>
|
|
UUCP sites that talk to UUCP neighbors who use domainized mail headers would
|
|
use this file to force delivery of the mail through the direct UUCP
|
|
point-to-point link between the two systems rather than using the less direct
|
|
route through the RELAY_MAILER and RELAY_HOST or
|
|
through the DEFAULT_MAILER.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Internet sites who do not talk UUCP probably would not use the
|
|
uucpxtable.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Suppose you provide mail forwarding service to a system called
|
|
sesame.com in DNS and sesame in the UUCP maps. You would need
|
|
the following uucpxtable entry to force mail for their host to go
|
|
through your direct UUCP connection.
