1. Qmail on server Q1 is unable to deliver the mail fetched over UUCP to
the local POP mailboxes.
How do we setup Qmail to deliver mail fetched over UUCP to the local pop
mailboxes.?
In what way does it fail? What precisely are you trying to do?
Sending mail over UUCP is normally done by using uux to invoke rmail
on the remote system. To make this work, you must have a copy of the
rmail program, which is provided by neither qmail nor UUCP. The rmail
which comes with sendmail will work with qmail.
2. How does the server Q1 send outgoing email to the central server Q2? We
have considered using SMTP, but since the dial up connection is available
only for less than an hour daily, it will not be possible for Qmail to pump
out all queued emails during that period. Can UUCP solve this problem?
You can send outgoing mail over UUCP. See
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/outgoing.html#uucp
However, if your dialup connection is not up for long enough to send
out all your mail messages, then you are still going to have trouble.
UUCP does not increase the bandwidth available over a link.
