Indeed. I'll have to check, but I didn't give up on UUCP until about
2000, when I changed ISPs (the new one didn't offer it). I found UUCP
to be very reliable indeed.
In a sense, fetchmail isn't all that different--and I'm still using that.

Only if you're transferring the files using UUCP.
Now that I *am* still using. All of my mail servers act as secondary
MX servers for each other and when things come in they get queued up
and transferred via UUCP. It has worked great for me for 20 years, no
reason to switch now. When a link goes down it?s not a problem,
nothing gets lost and UUCP doesn?t time-out and start bouncing
messages. Plus I still have one server that?s on a residential
connection which moves all of its mail via UUCP since it can do
polling when necessary.
