UucpName name
UucpName UUCP
Some Internet gateway software requires that mail addressed to the gateway
must be addressed to a specific user name in order to be gated into the
Internet. This specific user name is usually ‘UUCP’, and you can specify
it as the name parameter to the UUCP
keyword.
If your gateway is using a better gateway software, like Fidogate, it will not have this restriction. Instead, such gateway software uses the name fields in the FTN header to exchange real name information. In this case, you should specify ‘UucpName *’, which tells MsgEd TE that the gateway software allows any name to be put into the FTN header field.
See Using MsgEd TE for e-mail and newsgroups, for more information.
