All good MTAs still interface properly to UUCP support software, and
that's when they don't grok BSMTP natively.

postfix, exim and sendmail all can do UUCP, in path!bang style even, but
also using modern @domain.example.com routing.

It works _really_ well.


Now, just in case it is not as crazy an idea as it sounds: could one use
the replication protocol and a murder cluster to actually have a cyrus
"mobile drone"?

Wouldn't work in full offline mode, obviously, so it wouldn't be of help
to the thread submitter, but still...
