Hi Matus, No we don't need to support UUCP addresses. We just need to allow the usage of special characters in the local part of the email address. With regard to UUCP i've also looked at the parameter swap_bangpath and tested with this enabled. However we don't need to rewrite the bang "!" to "@". So I don't think this is relevant here. (I could be wrong).
