   No. The .msgrc only sets default parameters.  You might want to
check out the man page for .maildelivery.  An entry in your
.maildelivery file to get rid of any mail that has uucp in the from
line is:


>From	uucp		file	A	/dev/null

Beware, because if the from line looks like this:
From:  Thomas A. Buucpat <tab at seito.MMCS.MIL> it won't get to your
		  ^^^^
mailbox.


  For the others on wizards,  he is using msg which is part of the
MMDF (Multi-channel Memo Distribution Facility).  It is an excellent
mailer.
