4 I've written a small chapter how-to configure exim for use with UUCP
5 (mostly condensed from the exim-user mailing list plus some experimenting)
6 and would be glad if it could be included in the exim documentation.

21 @section Exim and @sc{uucp}
23 Configuring exim for use with @sc{uucp} is a bit of manual work, since exim
24 wasn't written with @sc{uucp} in mind.
26 This guide assumes that you use @emph{Internet-addressing} --- i.e. both
27 sides use Taylor-@sc{uucp} --- or 1-level deep Bang-paths (the Bang-Path level
28 has to be finite to make address-rewriting feasible). What you have to do is
33 add a new transports definition
38 @subsection Transports
40 The @emph{transports} does the work: it passes the mail to @sc{uucp}.
41 This is the place to do bang-path-conversions and similar things
42 (when using Taylor-@sc{uucp}, as my provider does, the Internet-address
43 is simply passed to rmail).
49 command = "uux - -a\"$sender_address\" -r $host\!rmail $pipe_addresses"
50 delivery_date_add = true
53 path = "/usr/bin:/bin"
57 If you wanted to use bang-paths, you'd use something as (untested):
60 command = "uux - -a$sender_address -r $host\!rmail ($domain\!$local_part)"
66 The @emph{router} tells exim that a @sc{uucp}-route is available:
72 route_list = "* neighbor byname"
75 @var{neighbor} is the upstream @sc{uucp}-neighbor; all outgoing traffic
76 is routed over there (leaf node configuration).
80 In order to omit the @code{Sender: uucp} line, add @var{uucp} to the
84 trusted_users = mail:uucp
