I'm actually 19 so I largely use it for nostalgia's sake. Yes. I'm 19
and I'm a private email operator. And I've used UUCP. Part of it is to
get around SMTP blocks, part of it is to, as I said, entertain
nostalgia. I don't really know. I guess I am fond of bangpaths.

Twenty years ago all the MTAs supported uucp, but these days I would
be surprised if any remaining uucp code was other than cruft that
nobody had bothered to delete. If you really want uucp support,
you're going to have to do some gateway programming.
uucp was a a thing of wonder when the earth was young and Telebit
modems were state of the art, but today? really?
I'd be interested in why he's still using uucp.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is in the category of "it's been
working for decades, why would I change it now?!".
I'd also be interested in the full story though. I always enjoy tales
from the crypts. :-)
