Is it really a good idea that all mail products should have to handle
it - and design anti-spam or other things around it?
Might it make more sense from a design standpoint for UUCP endpoints
to be gatewayed through something that talks current protocols on one
side, and UUCP on the other? ...
What happens when delivery fails at either end? What if you send a
message from either the Internet side or the other side, and something
breaks? Would you want your message to just disappear into a black hole
or do you want some error indication? What if the problem is persistent
but intermittent? Would you be happy with a mail system where some
of your messages disappear with traces?
I suppose that would be handled in a gateway. It could presumably
push bounces across itself, as well as regular messages, or even generate
them as appropriate...
