I have almost no clue about how UUCP works (I figure everyone should be able to use SMTP or NNTP by now) with regards to spooling messages for later delivery or how it interacts with the mail and news server to send/receieve messages. The machine is running FreeBSD 2.1.0R, sendmail and INN. The client who wants the UUCP machine will have his clients dialup over 28.8k modems. He doesn't know whether they will be dialing straight into a UUCP login, or connecting via PPP. He also doesn't know what software will be running on the remote side. He just wants "UUCP to work". Compressed UUCP over TCP? Is the UUCP that comes with FreeBSD good enough to do this? Any tips or pointers to documentation or sample configuration files will be greatly appreciated.
