Are there any FAQ's or guides on setting up a UUCP mail and news
server under FreeBSD? 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. Thanks.
