Using UUCP over TCP

Despite a serious lack of sex-appeal, email via UUCP over TCP is a practical option for sites without permanent Internet connections, and for sites without a fixed IP address. For first-hand information, see the following guides:

• Jim Seymour's guide for using UUCP over TCP at https://jimsun.LinxNet.com/jdp/uucp_over_tcp/index.html,
• Craig Sanders's guide for SSL-encrypted UUCP over TCP using stunnel at https://taz.net.au/postfix/uucp/.
