UUCP will get you basically 100% of what you can out of any dialup link including compression and minimising phone time. Something the IP folks dont do. Modern UUCP setups support non bangpath routing or bsmtp (batched-smtp) which gives you all the internet mail system behaviour without the overhead you pay for when you use IP Finally having UUCP transfers available lets you use some of the very old DOS setups that will do email on even an old 8086 and while not open source are free to grab pieces.
