You may want to : keep at least one machine somewhere with a full-time internet link : so you can accept smtp from the rest of the world (or use someone's : service for this). If you have that, you may want your remote machines : to dial up a local internet provider and do uucp over tcp to pick up : their batched mail instead of making long distance calls directly to : the other machines. It is a bit more complicated to set this up but : you can also use it for other internet activity.
Right, the Debian box at the main office is full time connected to the Internete. I want to do what you are saying: have this main server accepting e-mail from the world to users in my UUCP domains and transfer them to the remote servers when the UUCP link starts. This sounds like an interesting exercise although I am a little bit scared of touching sendmail and bind to do the trick. Regards, E.- -- Eloy A.
