Ah! Simple as that, is it? Incidentally, where does the sender's address
go? Is it in a From_ line?
Most of the apparatus to do this exists in Exim for handling batch SMTP.
Some relatively small modifications could be made to add options to the
pipe transport to get it to this, I think. I've put the idea on my list
to think about when I get to it.
Alternatively, it would not be very hard to write a small program or
Perl script to be called by Exim and fed batch SMTP which it could
convert to the above form and pass on to uux. In other words, a "batch
SMTP to uux" filter.
