Receiving mail or news via UUCP

To receive mail, all that is necessary is for UUCP to invoke rmail. Any mail delivery agent will provide an appropriate version of rmail; you must simply make sure that it is in the command path used by UUCP (it almost certainly already is). The default command path is set in `policy.h', and it may be overridden for a particular system by the command-path command (see section Miscellaneous sys File Commands).

Similarly, for news UUCP must be able to invoke rnews. Any news system will provide a version of rnews, and you must ensure that is in a directory on the path that UUCP will search.
