I've read down through Q0601 and your request for UUCP examples.
Here's how I'm doing it:

  # route via UUCP

  uucp_routing_rmail:
    transport = uucp_rmail
    driver = domainlist
    route_file = /etc/exim/uucp_rmail
    search_type = dbm

  uucp_routing_rsmtp:
    transport = uucp_rsmtp
    driver = domainlist
    route_file = /etc/exim/uucp_rsmtp
    search_type = dbm


  # This transport delivers via UUCP-rmail

  uucp_rmail:
    driver = pipe
    user = nobody
    command = "/usr/bin/uux --stdin --nouucico --requestor \
          '${if eq {$sender_address}{}{mailer-daemon}{$sender_address}}' \
          $host!rmail $pipe_addresses"
    return_fail_output=true
    no_retry_use_local_part


  # This transport delivers via UUCP-rsmtp

  uucp_rsmtp:
    driver = pipe
    batch = domain
    bsmtp = domain
    user = nobody
    command = "/usr/bin/uux --stdin --nouucico --requestor \
          '${if eq {$sender_address}{}{mailer-daemon}{$sender_address}}' \
          $host!rsmtp"
    prefix = ""
    suffix = ""
    return_fail_output=true
    no_retry_use_local_part


Files /etc/exim/uucp_rmail and /etc/exim/uucp_rsmtp are of the form:

  domain1.com:    alpha
  domain2.com:    beta
  domain3.com:    gamma

where alpha, beta, and gamma are UUCP neighbors.


For example, our mail server, hermes, uses UUCP to transport email to my
laptop, ulysses.  Ulysses can poll hermes on TCP port 520 from anywhere
on the net.  This is independent of ulysses's IP address, and there's
no messing with SMTP/ETRN.
