Hey some of us youngins weren't around for the low bandwidth (modem) email
days, which is what UUCP was created for. I couldn't even begin to tell you
how to set up UUCP it my life depended on it. >:) The funny part about
this is that I am old enough to remeber a pre-web Internet.
Anyway he is correct that is the best way to do it. Unfortunately qmail
won't do that, only one I know of is the beast, Sendmail.
