I'm tying to use FreeBSD on a 486 as a UUCP/POP mail hub.
I've gotten my sys file happy and even tested the connection.
Mail seems to exchange prefectly.  Now I'm trying to find out:

  What should the /etc/crontab entry look like to call my
  uucp neighbor every so often?

(I guess what I'm really asking is what flags should uucico
get?) 

Also is there any easy way to kick uucico to call out whenever
new outgoing mail is queued?

As a sendmail aside, what's the difference between masquerading
and Cwdomain.name?

Please reply by email to bst@netcom.com if possible, though
I will try to scan this newsgroup also.

Thanks in advance!
