     However, UUCP is not a mail package, so it doesn't belong in
mail.  Yes, it is used most often for mail, but it is often used
quite frequently for small Usenet news feeds, and sometimes for general
file transfer.  You can also have it execute commands remotely,
although most people disable this for security reasons.  It is truely a
communications protocol and is quite versatile for jobs that can be
batched (obviously, it doesn't do interactive work).  I really think it
does not belong in mail, since it has very little to do with mail
directly.
