    One question we just came across when thinking about this and we
    couldn't find an answer:
    Assuming we have two INN2 installations on machines more than one hop
    away from one another, how would be the best way to move a batch from
    Machine 1 to Machine 3, without an installation of INN on Machine 2
    between them.
    Would this have to be defined in the send-uucp.cf of INN or rather in
    the port/sys settings of uucp itself?

    I came across this question a few years ago. This would have to be done
    in send-uucp. But as far as I know send-uucp does not support this. You
    would have to dive into the the source code of send-uucp and implement it.

    Cheers,
    Martin

    ah, pity. I thought that would be easier to manage.

    although. I guess one could have a script running to push any
    batch-files further down the line.

    Maybe all it'd take would be editing the rnews command in the
    execute files for the remote system. Something like:

    sed 's/fakeremote/intermediate\!trueremote/' X.<file>

    run by a cron job?

    send-uucp is a pretty easy to read perl script. Adding it there is
    probably easier than those hacky ideas.
