Mail from uucp gets sent by my system and is received on my cellphone. I also checked the environment for the path, it is till the BSD default and doesn't have any additional restrictions.
My problem looks to be in how upsmon spawns the upssched program when the NOTIFYFLAG is triggered. That was the reason that I asked the group on the method to call upssched when running as the uucp user separate from getting called by upsmon. I already know that the UPS on battery flag is set because I get a 'wall' message and an entry in syslog. No mail gets sent and I want to narrow down what is happening by giving the timer lots of time and look for the lock and pipe file creation and processes running with some debug flags set. I would rather not keep pulling the plug to the UPS to put it on battery.
