Taylor UUCP does not include a mail package. All Unix systems come with
some sort of mail delivery agent, typically sendmail or
MMDF. Source code is available for some alternative mail
delivery agents, such as IDA sendmail and smail.
Taylor UUCP also does not include a news package. The two major Unix
news packages are C-news and INN. Both are available in
source code form.
Configuring and using mail delivery agents is a notoriously complex topic, and I will not be discussing it here. Configuring news systems is usually simpler, but I will not be discussing that either. I will merely describe the interactions between the mail and news systems and UUCP.
A mail or news system interacts with UUCP in two ways: sending and receiving.
