Do you mean that the UUCP service will be for the PLUG email account? Note that in UUCP, a UUCP system has an entire domain, and you can have unlimited amount of users on it. If you want a 'PLUG account' via UUCP then there would be some mapping from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Correct me if I'm wrong with my understanding regarding this thread (it all started >with Edsamail for Linux to UUCP), you (Migs) were the one who suggested an idea to >develop a some sort of an "Edsamail for Linux" specifically for PLUG members to cater >the e-mail needs.

IMHO. > But if there is a best way that we can acquire free e-mail services specifically for >the PLUG mailing lists, siguro naman wala ng kokontra dito! =) That doesn't even need UUCP, it would need the PLUG mailing list host's server to be open for dialup for POP retrieval and SMTP sending from there. But that would require the host server to have a 24x7 phone line. The advantage of UUCP is that we can appoint other boxes as hubs, hopefully with 24x7 uptime as well. > That's what I'm saying! =) > > Go for it, Migs! Suportahan 'ta ka! =) What do you mean I go for it. WE go for it! That's what the org is about. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
