Hmm... I also grab mail in batches off the internet. Except
I use a cron script that runs every four hours. As part of the script,
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q is run after a ppp connection is established
(via /usr/sbin/ppp -background, so the phone doesn't keep going up and
down :) ), and the waiting mail is queued out. The ppp process is
killed after the script is done.
Probably more work than it's worth :)
I didn't know you could run TCP over UUCP, though.
