I have a small internal IP network that I use mainly as a hobby
system.  On my FreeBSD box I have set up uucp to connect with my ISP
and download news and mail.  This works fine.  The mail comes in and I
can then connect to the POP3 server on the FreeBSD box and getmy mail.

Problem is getting it to go the other way.  At this point I am just
trying to use PINE to generate e-mail trhough a telnet session on the
FreeBSD system and have it send that out via uucp.  This does not work
and I now have no idea where to look to get it to go.

What I need to know is this:

How do I set up the FreeBSD system so that it will send mail out to
the Internet via the UUCP connection?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?

Please e-mail replies to ddunlop@redpoint.com if possible.

Many thanks,
Don
