UUCP is used by clients who pay a relatively small amount of basically unlimited batched email over dialup. Unfortunately that is not commercially popular anymore. It's a bit hairy to setup since you need to configure Taylor UUCP, and your MTA to work with it. I only have done it under sendmail, though Postfix is supposed to work. I don't know about qmail, and exim omitted the possibility of non-SMTP mail transmission by design. To run a free mail service for Linux over UUCP, you'd need at least dialin line, ala BBS, and some sort of Internet connection, like a leased line or broadband. If anyone wants to do it I'd lend a hand :) I think this is already for PLUG main... _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
