Don't forget that the USA are not alone. UUCP is still used in Europe where comms are more expensive. Another point: when fetchmail (or anything POP3/IMAP4 based) grows a decent multi-domain / multiusers support, we may consider removing it. I use it daily over TCP and having multiple domains and multiple users is trivial compared to what you have to do with fetchmail for that. > However, if those people are going to make a big deal about it, > I suppose we can take the intermediate step of having a BUILD_UUCP > make.conf (opt-in) option for the next few years. I could accept that but don't remove it please. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 5.0-CURRENT #80: Sun Jun 4 22:44:19 CEST 2000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
