I'm in precisely the same position with one of my uucp links. I rarely use it these days other than for incoming mail pickup, but the address remains "alive" for the sake of holding over my old email addresses to which I still receive half a dozen a week. Everything gets "banged" up royally, although I *can* massage headers using sendmail to strip out the cruft and do site->domain substitution and rewriting once it gets here, I can't do much about anything that goes out via that same route (consequently, I don't send anything that way either :-)). The sendmail.cf running on that site must be over a decade old and even then was one of the very few UUCP relay systems left in this country (for anyone interested, this is munnari.oz.au aka mulga.oz.au). When I originally asked for it to be fixed back in '89 or so, I was told "don't mess with what works". Of course, this is some new and wonderful definition of the term 'works' I had never heard of previously. Still, the mail arrives and that link has been free of charge for all these years, so I'm not about to complain further.
