Jay D. Nelson shared with us:

Sometimes I think we can be too "internet-centric" for our own good. UUCP makes good security and economic sense.

[lotsa points deleted]

Make it an install option if you want, but leave it as a part of the standard distribution.

I can only agree with this. As long as queued SMTP isn't commonly used, keep UUCP. (And then there's the News thing, too.)

I have a rather complicated mail setup, with filters that delete, refuse, save in a folder or resend mail to my UUCP node according to a set of rules. To do it without UUCP would be inconvenient, to put it mildly.

For a non-connected host, who wants to use standard mailers like Mutt or Elm, there's no real alternative.
